But, as you might expect of us, there were other pleasures experienced on this trip.
On our drive through Cottonwood (the town) we were surprised by this sign.
Now it happens that Judy has a daughter named Gayle, spelled that way, also known here as The BRD, for Beautiful Rich Daughter.
And she loves chocolate so I had to whip out my camera.
And visit the tiny shop.
Where I purchased four chocolate truffles.
They are Lemon, Raspberry, Champagne and, the shop-owner's favorite, Michigan Cherry.
In spite of good intentions, though, the BRD never saw these, as we greedily gobbled them up after we got home that evening.
Oh, and there was one other thing.
We stopped at The Tavern Grille in Old Town Cottonwood for a wonderful lunch preceded by one of these for SWMBO.
That is a spectacularly garnished Bloody Mary.
She said it was made to her taste - very spicey!
She topped it off with a BLTA sandwich and I had a Bleu Cheeseburger, both of which were excellent.
I heartily recommend The Tavern Grille.
And Gayle's Chocolates.
