Journey 2017 USA-Canada

We left home as early as possible in the morning of day one in order to take our time yet  make it to Kokomo, IN.  One thing that we love to do is get off of the main road and find interesting places to stop.  We drove back roads through Tennessee starting on Hwy 127 out of Chattanooga and found a fun little small town restaurant and some beautiful countryside.   Our stop was Jack's BBQ in Sparta, TN and they offered checker board tables for the kids to play while we waited for great food!  Another interesting twist to this adventure is that we are driving the Jeep - five people, 16 days in a Jeep!   On the way, we had a rain storm and then the most amazing full rainbow.  

It was so nice to have no agenda on day two that we all slept late.  We meandered up toward Lake Michiganand had lunch at Coral Gable in Saugatuck, MI.   We enjoyed walking around town for a little while and spent some time in Saugutuck Drug/Village Store.  There were so many items the kids would love to have, fun/funny gifts and Mom bought a hand full of encouraging cards to mail to loved ones.  We arrived at 3033 Midland around 2PM for a couple of days of family fun!
