Road Trip: Roses, Presidents and a Trip to the Far East

Road Trip Day 8: An Amish Gardener, Carbs and a Late Flight Home

It’s hard to believe that our road trip has come to a close. Our last day was filled with some memorable adventures. We woke up to an overcast morning at our bed & breakfast. You know what the best part of staying at a B&B is?  The breakfasts! We started out with strawberries and bananas on a […]

Road Trip Day 7: Rhubarb, Pepsi and Lonely Roads

Today was spent driving from Wisconsin, over the Mississippi River into southeastern Minnesota.

Road Trip Day 3: Mackinac Island, Fudge, Horses and Bikes

When friends heard that I was going to Michigan, every single one of them told me that I must go to Mackinac Island. To be honest, I was somewhat skeptical of whether or not I would like Mackinac Island.  I tend to not enjoy what some people would call ‘tourist traps’. I was hopeful that Mackinac Island […]
