I couldn’t make a cross country road trip without a special stop at one of my very favorite places, Ann Arbor, Michigan! As a University of Michigan alum, I never pass up the chance to visit the campus. I was particularly excited to show Ollie the gorgeous campus, he seems to like it, don’t you think?
Don’t step on the M Ollie! For any Michigan readers, you know that it’s bad luck and you’ll fail your first blue book exam (do blue book exams still exist?).
Ollie made a quick visit to an Ann Arbor classic spot, Rick’s. He’s ready to party.
When visiting Ann Arbor, I have a few food-musts. Zingerman’s for breakfast is a no brainer. And on the way out, we grabbed Pizza House Chipatis for the road, yum. Nothing like your favorite college food to get you through a 7 hour drive.
We got the chance to stay with one of my best friends and we were SO excited to introduce our crazy dogs. Ollie & Wrigley got along great! Oops, Lauren & I spent all our energy trying to get these two to look at the camera that we never took pictures of us 
During our quick trip, we also had the chance to see another college friend and her cutie-pie baby. Such a treat.
I absolutely loved our stop in Ann Arbor, which is no shock, because as any Michigan alum can attest, it’s a special place. Plus, seeing friends that I don’t get to see nearly enough, well that’s just the best.
The next stop along the way, Madison, Wisconsin!
Also check out Stop #1, Niagara Falls.
