Next week’s mini vacation destination has been decided; We’re going to Michigan. We’ve got a bed & breakfast booked on the other side of Lake Michigan and at least one Flea Market on our destination list. I’ve been browsing a Michigan tourism site and reading pleasant sounding descriptions of the areas we’ll definitely be hitting. Sarah’s mom suggested visiting the Kellogg’s plant, but it turns out that they stopped giving tours of the factory back in the 90s sometime and opened a “Cereal City USA” attraction, which included a fake cereal plant tour. Unfortunately, the “not a real cereal plant” wasn’t popular enough and now it’s just plain closed. Bummer.
In May, we’re planning a family-style vacation, and we’re leaning towards Seattle. Just in case we take a little trip up to Canada, I’ve put in an order for a new birth certificate from the city of Buffalo. Last time I tried, it seemed impossible to do unless you went in person… now they have some sketchy online system that failed at verifying my identity once, but worked the second time. Maybe, if it actually comes, I should attempt to get a passport. That’d make things easier and give me some incentive to think bigger for future vacations.
woot
