#lksawaydays in MIchigan visited the very cool Air Zoo. Approx 50 aircraft across 2 adjoining buildings and a restoration centre approx 500 yards away. A great mix of aircraft including the sole built Curtiss XP-55 Ascender 278846.
This was along Bishop's Bog trail, almost to the bog, fall 2017. Nice mixture of fog and light.
Portage Creek in Schrier Park.

Very basic hotel with very nice people. Room was clean and comfortable except the curtains did not cover the entire window so lots of light came in at night.

We had a great time staying here! The beach area is great for kids, the water is waist deep out to 30-40 yards off shore making it super safe for our little ones. This was a great spot for our family get together!

Please improve the breakfast!! Mixed fruit was stll frozen, eggs and sausages were cold due to faulty warmer. Little omelets were pre-fab and nasty. Monday no fresh fruit like apples/ bananas. Only 2 choices of yogurt. No gluten free bread.
