One of the best-known landmarks is this covered bridge. Its made almost entirely out of wood, including wooden pegs that hold the slats together. You can walk across it, as well as driving cars across.
They also offer riverboat tours. However, since it was a bit chilly and windy, we opted to skip that part and just walk around.

You can see some of the buildings in the background.One of the things you just about HAVE to do in Frankenmuth is eat a chicken dinner at Zender's. Generally, there is a really long wait just for a table, but we timed it perfectly and were able to beat the crowds. Dinner was yummy, and we brought a ton of food home with us.
We took the scenic route on the way there- I'm still absorbing all of the color I can get my eyes on. The leafs are turning, and yet some trees are still green and some have already dropped their leafs. I think it must have been a bumper crop of pumpkins this year though- you can't throw a stone without hitting a pumpkin patch full of orange, and people are selling them EVERYWHERE.
Tomorrow we're supposed to be going to a different cider mill with my sister and Mitch, and then I fly back to Phoenix late Tuesday afternoon. We were thinking we'd go to Ikea that day since its pretty close to both my sister and the airport, and it will be better than waiting around the house until its time to leave, then fighting traffic to get to the airport.

I agree with "sometimes its hard to balance wanting to take pictures with wanting to just enjoy myself and live in the moment." I have that problem, too.
I ditto Catherine's agreement with you. It is hard.
I've discovered that I LOVE the outings that are just to go take fun photos. It gets my photographing itch scratched enough so that when I go out to have fun again I can just enjoy myself.
I find that when I am torn between taking fun photos and enjoying the day, my photos just aren't very good.
