Interlude: Best Road Trip Everrrr - Part 1

Wendy and I recently went on a road trip to Mackinac Island, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. And, although I fully intend to (eventually) continue my posts about our more-high-end Italy trip, I want to take a moment and document this road trip on this 97-degree miserably hot and humid 4^th of July.

The trip itinerary was planned, navigated and executed by Wendy, who is a virtuoso of the car trip. And I believe this was her four-wheeled masterpiece!

The trip was characterized by the features we both most enjoy in a road trip, including:

·         Urban settings

·         Lots of activities each day

·         Little or no nature

·         Roadside colossi

·         Presidential Libraries/Historic Sites (complete with President/First Lady-themed Christmas ornaments)

·         Mold-A-Ramas

·         Interesting Architecture (including Art Deco and/or Frank Lloyd Wright buildings)

·         Twins games

·         A dash of fake history (see Creation Museum, Kensington Rhunestone museum, or the Nixon Library’s recounting of Watergate)

·         Delicious road food that will fatten you up, harden your arteries and eventually kill you

Now, mercifully for you, dear reader, I actually want to finish this set of postings! So I’m not going to go quite the excruciating level of detail that we are accustomed to. In fact, this posting may very well devolve into bullet points. We shall see.

Note:  This posting will feature wildly inaccurate statements, incorrect chronologies, false statements and outright lies. Wendy and others may chime in to correct the statements. Or not.
