Day 146: Road Trip

Yesterday morning I got a call asking if we could take Grandpa over to see Grandma today. Frank's Grandma had back surgery a month ago, and they had to go in 2 or 3 different times, due to complications. She lost 23 pounds due to not being able to eat, and has been in a lot of pain. She says she is doing better today, and hopes to be home on Friday. She is in Charlevoix, and I have not been over that way in some time, I forgot how long of a drive it is. It's like an hour & a half. But you get a really nice view on the drive. Lots of valleys, and farm land, and then we got by the water. We went by Castle Farms, which is the place where American Wedding was taped, well for the Wedding party anyways. Went by EJIW, East Jordan Iron Works, where my Step-Dad works. They make man hole covers for sewers, and the drains, and what not. Check out the covers on the street, or the drains....I bet they came from EJIW. :) Kwin enjoyed his ride, he liked seeing the barns, and horses, and what not. Then he liked all the boats. I should try to make it over there again so I can take some pictures. it's a beautiful drive, and I'd love to get out to take some pictures. There is this old stone church we passed too. Just awesome!
