BigFrank's Father's Day Road Trip 6.0 Penn/Oh/Mich

[BigFrank]

Your hotel room is going to smell absolutely horrible by morning. Just thought I’d warn you.

Wife is not here to sniff loudly and then comment on the odor so...

Too bad about the rain. Beer garden is awesome for music and sipping a fresh Two Hearted. Glad you got there anyhow.

I would have loved to chill in this spot for a night...one of the tough choices for these trips. Great place, but I still have a short amount of time. I'm just stoked they were open!

At the Henry Ford Museum. The real f'ing bus Rosa Parks started it all on and a legit dining car.

 

[BigFrank]

Zingerman's for lunch!

Western Michigan White Caps game

Best taplist I've ever seen at a ball game.

Gerald Ford Presidential Library and Museum


Jack, age 11, just started a scout. Pretty cool to see this display of Ford's scouting sash...Jack could identify a bunch of merit badges.

After the kids went to bed I checked out Elk Brewing and Founders. Founders was really cool...until I got too hammered and took a call from the wife. Hopefully there is enough time before I get back for this to die down. I mean, I used an Uber, didn't take the kids and ended up eating chicken wings while buzzed. Crime?

 

[BigFrank]

Growing up my family watched MASH every single night. When I decided on this trip I knew I wanted to check out Klinger's favorite spot, Tony Packo's.

 

[BigFrank]

Rutherford B. Hayes library...nice, but a little disorganized.

 

[BigFrank]

Wanted to go to Mudhens game, but the rain has been steady. Kids decided on frisbee in the parking lot instead.

Grand Rapids, just like Asheville, NC looks like a place I could do a whole vacation. Beer, baseball and fishing....what more do you want

 

[steimie]

Dat Cultivate stout!

 

[wuntrikpony]

BigFrank can you be my dad?

 

[BigFrank]

Cleveland Rocks!


During this trip the kids have really opened up to listening to the Beatles. They ask to listen to the Sirius station and were excited with all the Beatles memorabilia.

 

[BigFrank]

Valley Forge on our final full day.


So during his time here, George Washington lived in a home he rented from a local property owner. This was his bedroom. Martha visited Valley Forge during that famous winter and stayed with George for four months. For approximately eight years they were apart, off and on, unless she visited him in the battlefield.

I think owlsfan is the winner. Send me them deets! Hope you guys enjoyed the ride. Early suggestions for next year's trip are Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa or Texas, Oklahoma. One of these days I will do Florida.

Until next year!
