We headed to Frankfort to pick up our friend (and star cameo for this part of the trip!) Martynas, noting the charming buildings and museums in Kentucky's capital. We didn't spend time there though, opting to explore the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Bourbon is an American whiskey that has strict production and aging requirements" it needs […]
After picking up our friend Martynas from his hotel in Cincinnati, we ended our visit to the city in the same way that we started it: a trip to Jungle Jim's International Market! However, this time we checked out the second store in Eastgate, rather than the one in Fairfield. We had to unexpectedly drive […]
After a peaceful night's sleep in Kentucky, we drove across the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, the baby blue painted bridge that connects the town of Covington in Kentucky with Cincinnati. Lisette still needs to find a "Welcome to Ohio" sign to take a picture of after missing the teeny sign yesterday, but surprisingly there […]
The RV park was quiet in the morning--it was a Sunday, so perhaps in this neck of the woods, folks had decided to go to church? We saw a couple of kids dressed in what looked like their Sunday's finest, so it could very well have been the case. Or maybe folks were nursing a […]
Another day, another scorcher! What better place to go on a day like this, than the Antique Fan Museum? Who knew there was even an Antique Fan Collectors Association (AFCA)? AFCA operates this Museum, which is at the company headquarters of Fanimation, an international ceiling fan company. To do a tour it's best to call in […]
We had a pretty good nights' sleep at the RV park, as our parking spot was under trees, helping to keep our RV cool in addition to being able to run the fan overnight. While the park is old (we found out that the campground had been around for well over a century, although there […]
Fortunately at our previous rest stop in Michigan, we'd picked up a brochure about Holland, so we had a few more interesting places to check out on our trip there today! Our one stop ahead of arriving in Holland was the Steelcase Pyramid in the city of Grand Rapids, an almost cultish-looking structure that was […]
We woke up to another hot day, planning to visit the places we didn't get a chance to go to yesterday in Detroit, before making our way to Ann Arbor by the evening. After a passing through Dequindre Cut (a pathway and green space with lots of murals), we visited St Joseph Shrine, a Catholic […]
We were interested to see what Detroit was like beyond what we'd seen, heard, and read. It's well known that Detroit was once a huge, thriving city, bolstered by the automotive industry where it was home to Ford, GM, and Chrysler. The city’s population soared to 1.85 million by 1950, becoming America’s 4th largest city. […]
The night before, we'd arrived at the rest stop as it was raining, which did cool down the temperatures overnight, thanks goodness! However, it was back to hot weather early the next morning. What we like about rest stops is that they not only have restrooms, dog park areas, and soda vending machines, but also […]
