"Hurry up Brandon! It's time to go on another adventure! let's head up to Kalkaska, MI for my cousin John's graduation party! We'll stay the weekend and since it's Fourth of July weekend, We'll have a party with lotsa fireworks!"


An hour into the trip, they hear a loud snap and a grinding noise coming from the rear end of the car. heh, rear end....


Well now there's your problem. Your dohickcy isn't connected to your thingamajig therefor causing the right latteral rotation disinjointnation of the whichamacallit. It's an easy fix...if we had the part.


So Brandon and Sarah decide that the fact that their rear strut is not connected to their car is not a problem, they truck on. Hey! if we were to visit lary from 2001 to 2004, that would be the exit we'd get off at! hi lary! lets stop in. see if he's home. Nope. He's not. He's currently living in GA defending America from terroists and fighting for our freedom. God bless america!


"Oh my goodness brandon, is that what i think it is?!"


"Oh man sarah! It is! We are so far north into michigan i didn't think those things existed! I can't believe it!"


And there it is. The much sought after Dairy Queen. Its like angels singing.


"Man sarah, This ice cream is so good! This hits the spot after a long 3.5 hour drive!"

And there is our hotel! we booked it online without even looking at the place. It says its 5 star! You can't go wrong for 39 dollars a night on a holiday weekend! this place must rock!


This is where kalkaska is. Right in the middle of no where. There is nothing around here. Its amazing that it took us 4 hours to drive 8 inches. Jeeze. Lame joke.


"This looks promising Sarah, they do not know how to use the english languange properly. The sign reads, 'Too all upstairs rooms'"


And thats our room. All the way down there. Brown door. Only brown door in the hallway....odd....


Brandon paid 5 dollars extra a night for the 'suite'. it was the extra large room with a fridge and a microwave. Who would have thought that these people thought ahead?! now i can bake some brownies and baaake some brownies! HA!


The large screen TV could barely fit on the nightstand. I wonder whats on. Only one channel?


Only the sweetest channel ever! QVC! now we can party all night with this guy! looks like he's game.

It's time to meet the rest of the fam!
