Saturday Recap

Saturday we spent most of the day visiting with family, including my aunt and uncle who are just awesome people and had a lot of great recommendations of things to see in Michigan.

This pic is a little shout out to our good friend Dave Gebauer at Bing Bang in Des Moines who'll be spending a lot of long weekends at the Knoxville Raceway shooting footage for their Dirt Dreams TV show on MavTV!

My sister organized a family dinner in Cincinnati where we had another great visit with more family.  Couple nephews talked us in to going to Mt. Caramel Brewery which was just a couple miles down the road from where we had dinner. Actually, they didn't have to talk to hard to get us to go, but we did have to. Work on my sister Jill a little. Actually I think it was her daughter in law Molly that probably talked he into it ;-) We had visited Mt. cRamel briefly in 2013 and it's a very cool little startup in a residential neighborhood. It's the owners house actually...well...it was. The business got so big he had to move out! He told us on our last visit that the tap room used to be his kids' playroom :-). Anywhoo, they've grown a lot since then and have built up a real nice park like setting in the back yard. We did a sampler, but since we were visiting we didn't really take any notes. They had a special blueberry brew that was awesome, though. My nephew Austin left with a growler of that! 

Since we had an hour drive home, we slowly sipped the sampler and a pint of the blue, said our goodbyes and headed back to our cabin in the woods :-)
