Hail to the Victors!

After leaving Erie, we made our way to Ann Arbor, Michigan, which is easily one of our favorite places on the planet. Having lived there for three years, we had 20 hours or so to see and do everything we wanted to do. And we were able to do quite a lot. We visited my brother, Trevor, and his son, Quentin. We met them at the Arbor Brewing Company, where we enjoyed some Sacred Cow IPA and organic pub food.



After spending the night, we got up and enjoyed some Washtenaw Dairy Doughnuts - the best cake doughnuts we know of. It was a treat to share them with Annika (again) and with Sammy for the first time.


Jess had managed to save frequent buyer cards for Bubble Island Bubble Tea, and so we ran over there to get a free bubble tea, almost five years after she last purchased a drink there.

We had lunch at the Jerusalem Garden (a middle-eastern greasy spoon) with our friend, Derek, and he was able to take another typically goofy HB family picture.

And, of course, no trip to Ann Arbor is complete without going to Zingerman's. We bought some bread and brownies to take with us to Chicago, packed our bags, and kept heading west.

It was great to get back to Ann Arbor, and next time, we definitely need more time and bigger stomachs!
