Day 5: Windsor to Milwaukee

Saturday, June 28, 2008

First thing in the morning, we went over the bridge and into America. Where they asked no questions, but did actually look at our passports. Time for another, things we'll miss:



So basically, nothing happened all the way along I-94 through Michigan (which looks remarkably like Ontario) except that we stopped in Ann Arbor. Like Boulder, it's a small, cute town, dominated by an enormous state university.

We also did a drive-thru of Kalamazoo.

And one more we forgot:



We ended up at my mom's house many hours ahead of schedule, and hung out around the house playing with Curt and my dad, watching wedding videos and looking at pictures.

Total Distance: 391 miles.
