road trip part 1 - going to hell

day 1 of the trip i drove to chicago to pick up erin from the Huster household, and made some good time to Greg's in Warsaw, IN. Our first roadside attraction attempt was to see the world's largest fake nose and glasses, which was recently moved to somewhere in the furthest south eastern town of michigan. that attempt as pictured below, was unsuccessful:



we were forced to turn around after following a road closure, and an alternate route that led us to a no trespassing sign - if we had continued we may have been shot (thanks gps).

It was nice to see Greg for a couple of hours. We stayed the night, but were only really able to hang out with Greg during dinner at applebee's, and breakfast at BK. Thanks Greg for forcing yourself to eat some breakfast so I could spend some more time with you.


Following the breakfast at BK Erin and I set out on our next great adventure... We were going to Hell... Michigan. But we couldn't go alone, so of course we did what ever american does, and we stopped at Walmart to pick up some hand baskets and coordinating decorations. We took the time in the car to carefully decorate our hand baskets before heading to Hell... Michigan.


Hell was surprisingly lame (well maybe it shouldn't have been surprising). Hell consisted of about 3 buildings that included a general store and some restaurants that were selling things that didn't smell very good at all. The buildings were decorated with some tacky and ridiculous devils so of course we had to have our picture taken in their little photo ops...




While we were there, Erin had to go pee, so we stopped in the general store and asked where the bathrooms were... and wouldn't you know that the only place to go pee in Hell is in a port-a-potty...



all in all, it was pretty ridiculous, Hell didn't even have good postcards.
