We left Nashville on Saturday, 10/1, and flew to Atlanta. Unbeknownst to us, it was a 37 minute flight. We had about an hour layover before our direct flight to Rome. It was a really nice flight. We had plenty of legroom, food, and drinks as we flew Premium Select on Delta.

We arrived in Rome at 10:40 AM on Sunday, 10/2, went through Customs, and then got our luggage. We then got the car to the hotel. The hotel is actually a townhouse.

We then walked around by our hotel and had a wonderful dinner at one of the restaurants on the street. They made the chicken parm with baked chicken and it was excellent!

This is the largest railroad museum in the US. They have over 300 cars and receive more on a daily basis. It took us 2 days to see all the equipment. They also had a model railroad room which people in the area can work on and run the trains. We did get to go about 5 miles on the trolley car.

Today we went to the Museum of Natural History at the University of Michigan. It has a lot of classrooms. There were some really nice exhibits.

Today we drove to Ann Arbor. We went to the University of Michigan’s Conservatory and Botanical Garden. They were beautiful!

Today we drove from New Albany, Indiana to Grass Lake, Michigan. We are staying at Hideaway RV Park. The park is pretty. There are lots of trees, greenery, flower and vegetable gardens.

We are currently staying at the Hideaway RV Park in Jackson, Michigan. It wound up being a really nice park. The dogs like walking along the lake and is very quiet. Only problem is, internet is terrible.

We spent our first night of our trip at Our Lady of Perpetual Hops in New Albany, Indiana. This brewery is part of Harvest Host, which has about 2,500 locations. They are located at breweries, Distilleries. Wineries, museums and other locations. They allow fully self-contained RVs a free stay overnight at their locations. While there, we tasted beer and listened to live music.

Haines in on the northern part of the Alaskan Panhandle. We took a photo tour in a small group with a professional photographer. In this land-based tour, we were shown local sights including a rock sculpture, a lake I would love to fly fish and of course, eagles.
