We sped through Michigan, stopping briefly to walk around the University of Michigan and to visit a beach I wanted to see between Toledo and Sandusky. The restaurant we wanted to check out in Sandusky was closed and we ate in some generic family place with a sundae bar near the freeway. Despite D's urging, we didn't swing by Cedar Point for an evening of roller coasters.
We spent Day 7 on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. I insisted on a detour through Pittsburgh, since I like the city - history, rivers, recollection of nationals with D in 2004. D still begrudges the place for the Steelers' performance in the 2006 Superbowl. We drove through quickly - with lunch in the University area at the Original Hot Dog Shop (one of many places we tried from the Stern's Road Food book, which traveled in the library with all the AAA guides).
We made it to Valley Forge to visit Cousin Ann (M's side) that evening - after dinner at the King of Prussia Mall (largest mall in the east??). The next morning we drove into the City of Brotherly Love, found a perfect parking place, stood in line to see the Liberty Bell, and headed for New Jersey.
