Glenn and I flew to Michigan to visit our friends, Dennis and Debbie. We hung out at their house for a couple of days, then we hopped on the Harleys with another couple who flew in, Bruce and Debbie. Destination: Harley-Davidson 105th Anniversary in Milwaukee! We started in Grand Rapids, MI and rode north around Lake Michigan. It was a great being with our friends and riding in areas we've never seen. Awesome!

At Miller Park in Milwaukee - look at the sea of
motorcycles behind us! This was the Harley
Owners Group (HOG) 25th Anniversary. We
saw Kid Rock and Sugarland.
Glenn and I at Summerfest in Milwaukee. There were vendors all over the sidewalks and bikes all down the streets - it was amazing! We saw ZZ Top perform. Our route took us north on the coast of Lake Michigan - Frankfort, Traverse City, Petoskey, over the Mackinaw Bridge where we crossed just as the sun was setting and we spent the first night in St. Ignace. The next day took us through Epoufette, Manistique, and Escanaba and spent the second night in Green Bay. The third day we checked in to the Blue Harbor Inn at Sheboygan which was our "home" for 3 nights. The Anniversary activities took place in Milwaukee which was about an hours drive from Sheboygan. I've never seen so many motorcycles on the road! After 3 days in and around Milwaukee, we kept riding south around Lake Michigan, through Chicago (great skyline) and back up to Grand Rapids.
The weather was beautiful the whole trip. We thought there would be rain at least one day, but we were lucky. Our trip ended all too soon and we flew back to CA on Labor Day. We will start planning our next road trip with our friends.
