Today Danielle and I headed out to Cabela’s in Dundee, MI to find a winter jacket for her. Unfortunately, and contrary to what others had told us, the store did not have a decent selection of plus sized jackets. In fact, they only had one style of plus jackets, in four rather poor colors, without having the particular size which would fit best. Also, the store was nowhere near as impressive as I was led to believe, particularly in light of its place as a major local tourist destination. Except for a rare gun area the store didn’t have any particularly special items. It did have a large mountain in the center covered in stuffed animalsand a bunch of dioramas around the sides also full of stuffed animals which seemed a bit over the top, but not as over the top as the giant bronze statue of two bears fighting over a moose skull located in front of the store.
Heading back we decided to swing by REI in Ann Arbor thinking that we’d be able to quickly stop at the store and get back on the express way. Due to the ramp nearest to REI being closed and initially good traffic at the point where we could exit we pushed on further into the city and ended up stuck in game day traffic. To make it even better, this was the MSU / U of M game. We ended up stopping off at a Cottage Inn and getting a bit to eat while waiting out the traffic.
Before heading out to Ann Arbor we met up with a friend of ours named Sarah and had lunch at Lebanese Grill. I had a large plate of mjadara (as seen above) which was absolutely excellent, Danielle had some beef shawarma, and Sarah had a chicken fattoush salad. Mmm!
