I woke up yesterday, the weather was amazing and since we have had what seemed like the longest winter ever, I had cabin fever. I just had to go out and do something outside anything, anything at all. So I decided to………clean my car???? Well that lasted all of 20 minutes until Josh stopped by and I had a brilliant idea pop in my head. So I hijacked Josh and told him that we were going on an Adventure and I wasn’t telling him where.
About 2 years ago I had heard about these Fairy Doors that were in Ann Arbor, they were placed all around and on the sides of building, in different local attractions. In people’s homes and well just about anywhere, I had even looked them up once or twice before and remembered that one of them was located at Sweetwater’s Café. So I plugged the address into George (my GPS) and we were on our way. Josh was highly confused, after asking me if we were going to cedar point, Chicago, the zoo and about 20 other places he finally realized we were headed to Ann Arbor. After a 30 min drive we found parking and started walking to Sweetwater’s and there we found our first fairy door. It was a cute little door about 10 inches tall perfect size for a Fairy. Many other visitors had left trinkets for the fairies so I followed suit and left the smallest thing I had.
We lucked out at Sweetwater’s and they had postcards of about 6 other locations of fairy doors that were close by. So we wrote them down and started walking towards are next fairy door. We found about 5 more doors…. we even found a goblin door in the process. During the adventure we learned that there were many more doors that we didn’t know about and many that weren’t in walking distance of the city. The doors were pretty Magical if I do say so it and myself was a fun little adventure to go on and a little hidden treasure of the city that many people don’t know about. There is a book you can check out call Who’s behind the Fairy Doors by Jonathan B Wright. Or Check out the Website
