Well Last night was GREAT! Went to a local restaurant Trattoria Stella and met the girls, eight of us all together.
The food is WONDERFUL, I’m told the wine is good too but since I don’t drink I’ll take their word for it. The atmosphere is heavenly.
It’s in part of the Old State Hospital that has been renovated and your surrounded by all of this beautiful white brick. There are arches all over and each table feels like your in your own little world. I took a few pictures to share of the outside of the building just because their so gorgeous.
The grounds have one of every kind of tree indigenous to the State of Michian.. It’s really impressive and the history is fun too although a bit scary.
There are a few of these in the restaurant. Their just cool doors. They don’t know what they were originally used for, but they look pretty. 
The Spires are beautiful. You can see them from different parts of Traverse City. 
In my enthusiasm for the buildings I forgot that I should be telling you about the evening. We went to see a production of The Full Monty put on by the local community Play House.
WOW. If you ever get a chance to go see this play do it was hilarious. My favorite song in the production was called Big Ass Rock. We were all laughing hysterically through the whole show. I have to say for a community production it was very well done.
Then I went home to sleep. That was my time. It was good.

Sounds fabulous, wish I were there! I saw the movie and loved it. Those buildings are so cool. But I am curious as to what those doors were for…any ideas?

Glad you had a good time! The pictures are really neat and the door really makes you wonder what they were used for because it seems quite odd!
Sounds like you had a fabulous time! Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
im glad your time was good
Sounds wonderful!
Glad you had a great time. I especially liked the pictures of the building. Of course you know that I like old buildings. I think it’s great when the renovate a old building rather than tear it down. Have a happy Monday!
Did I misinterpret State Hospital as Insane Asylum? What a cool use for the building, if I didn’t. Glad you got out with the chicks. That’s always good for what ails you. I think our asylum is currently empty. Maybe someone here will follow suit.
