Chicago to Ann Arbor (vs Michigan)

GO PURDUE!

sunny

Fri, 10/12: We landed in Chicago at 8 PM and headed in the direction of Ann Arbor. Purdue was playing Michigan at noon tomorrow, so we wanted to get some ground tonight. We stopped in Battle Creek for the night.

Sat, 10/13: After a short hour, we arrived in Ann Arbor. It was a quaint little mid-west town; we parked in a little neighborhood adjacent to the stadium. The game was disappointing; we left at the beginning of the third quarter, to begin our long four hour journey back to Chicago. We listened to the game on the radio, confirming that our Boilermakers lost to the mighty Victors...

We wanted to try out Harry Caray's new seafood restaurant: Holy Mackerel! E got the sea bass, interestingly prepared with an Asian flair, complete with sticky rice. I ordered the seafood cioppino. E enjoyed his fish, which was prepared with a nice but tender crust. I was less than impressed with my cioppino, which was more like a tomato sauce with seafood in it, rather than the traditional stew (similar to a boullabaisse.) I was looking forward to a more authentic cioppino (I mean, why put it on the menu?) and was highly disappointed, though the seafood itself was good.

Sun, 10/14: After getting 90 minute massages at the local Massage Envy (I love that franchise!), we headed to Haray Carays. We got a quick bite and got to see some of the Bears game before heading home.
