Michigan RE:cap

As promised, here's the blog of our recent Michigan vacation...

It's non-peak season in Michigan, which means we were able to rent a house a block from Lake Michigan for very very cheap, which means we took full advantage of that and went on vacation!

We stayed at a great little Victorian house just a block off of the lake, and a 5 min walk from Silver Beach (an awesome beach). We stayed in St. Joseph, MI which has a cute little downtown, ample outdoor fun, and lame food (that's right, if you have culinary talent...they need you!)

We were also only 90 miles from downtown Chicago, so we spent 1 day at IKEA, Millennium Park, and Giordano's Pizza.

We found a great apple orchard, cider press, and apple donuts!

I give the trip all thumbs up (minus the food)!

Peace,

Ross

In Conclusion (the weekend mini-tour)

Saturday night I performed at The Verve in Terre Haute, IN. But before I left Chicago, there were still a couple things I wanted to do:

#1, grab a pizza from Giordano's...O-MAZING pizza!!! I think the pic does a little justice...(if i could only make my blog scratch & sniff)

#2, swing by IKEA and pick up some stuff for the new house. 3 hours later, I had indulged as much as I could, I succumbed to the gods of consumerism, and left broke.

My GPS took me to Terre Haute in an interesting fashion. I think it took the "crows flight" pattern as closely as possible. I was on county road after county road. I passed through Beaverville and Effner (enough said).

I went through a 10 mile stretch where the landscape was nothing but massive windmills. It was like something from a sci-fi movie.


But alas, the GPS did not deceive. I arrived in time to The Verve, played in front of a great crowd at a great venue!


The End.
