Immamacs family adventure from Fargo to Ann Arbor for the Michigan Game

[GoldAppleCorps 618]

If your kids didn't get enough lunch, you can always stop at the Island's fudge shoppes.

[bar 396]

Definitely check out Ricewood BBQ in Ann Arbor. They do a pretty good brisket rice bowl.

Need to lose about 40lbs is what that is. 

There are plenty of surlyites in the same boat.

Thanks for the Hook ‘Em while you were chilling on the porch around noon @immamac.  It’s a very small Surly world.  Quite a few Horns on the island today!  🤘

Haha hell yeah! I was on a call with Autograph they just dropped their major PR release today. Right after that I went off mute and told them Texas was gonna go to Ann Arbor and whip some Michigan ass with like 400 other partners on the call. Hahaha

Worth a look. 

After the last update we went to the pool and hung out for a while until dinner. Mostly uneventful, but met about 8 additional longhorns. One guy who was an orangebloods subscriber who I told to knock that shit off and stop giving ketchum any of his money. 
 

Dinner pics. Food was pretty excellent, the drinks here are incredibly strong

Baller. The Grand hotel is not cheap. 

Great pics imma

[Wax Beer Cup 382]

We’re back in Traverse City tonight, hitting up Sleeping Bear park tomorrow then heading down state Friday.  All Michigan fans have been great to talk with (much like 04 Rose Bowl) and a refreshing change from those Buckeye fucks.

I gotta admit page 3 was the hardest I’ve laughed in a while.  Good stuff and immamac is a good fucking sport about it.

Yep! I'm down 20 but could stand to lose another 20. Quit drinking booze a few weeks back. Hoping that helps.

Looks like an awesome family trip imma!

Simple and literally 30 minutes out of the water. It was insane. 

Look I'm not even sucking in. Hahahahaha

Biked around the island and made it to Fort Mackinac. 

Picture taken by a fellow surly horns member. 

And a bunch of random pics of the fory and the view.

View from lunch at the tea room. 

Gunnar unphased by his first actual bike crash. Full speed into the bush off the road. Raspberry and all.

Hopefully you're leaving the shirt on the island. j/k... the things we do for love.

Looks like an awesome trip.  Thanks for sharing it with us.

Bloody Mary.  It's a breakfast spot.

Well that particular one is made with Tattersal Aquavit, so if can find a woman who will drink and enjoy it, keep her.

You can make cocktails with that? I thought you were supposed to drink it out of the bottle in your longjohns while burying fish under the porch.

...on your way to the sauna.

It actually mixes well into a bloody.  It's a bit like dipping a slice of pumpernickel bread into tomato soup.

I'm not a big Bloody guy but that one looks good. There's what seems like a tasteful amount of crap laid on top.

Visiting the northern midwest during the summer time has made me reflect, "This almost makes the winters worth it."  Until you are there in winter.

Lived 18 winters in Minnesota.  This is correct.  You don't have to shovel heat to get out of your driveway.

It's like one of those aggy fan fictions: The opposing fans were so great, they even wore our team's shirts in a show of comradery.

 

[immamac 42838]

My wife is a huge Michigan fan. She trolled me by bringing only Michigan gear for my to the island. The rest of our stuff is in the car on the mainland. It was a good troll. 

[tejas60 3532]

That's grounds for divorce.

Then the weight loss can begin.
