One of my bridesmaids in my wedding, Mindy, was married over Labor Day Weekend in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Anyone who lives in the UP is called a "Yooper." My girlfriend's parents have a cabin and a house in the UP so my girlfriend visits quite often. The hubby and I left a week early so we could enjoy the great outdoors.

My parents joined us in our two bedroom cabin on Lake Muskelounge and the four of us had a week of fun driving all over the UP.

When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...
