On Wednesday morning we headed north to Charlevoix, MI. On the way we passed the World’s Largest Cherry Pie. According to what I read online in 1976 a man convinced local businesses in Charlevoix to bake the World's Largest Cherry Pie as part of the town's annual cherry festival. A giant pan was built, along with an equally titanic oven. Local farmers supplied the ingredients. The result: a cherry pie weighing 17,420 pounds. It was a world record. You should find it in the Guinness Book of World Records.
We made it to Charlevoix around lunch time and were shocked at just how beautiful it was. The lake water is crystal clear and it was a beautiful day outside. While Jeff visited an office I browsed through the downtown shops {bought a fun white shirt} and then found a park bench in the sun to relax and read. Here was the view from my park bench.
