Day two took place mostly in Michigan. We left Cincinnati this morning with two stops in mind: The Big House in Ann Arbor and the Gustin Township.
The first big thing (really big thing) we saw was a massive Jesus statue near Dayton, Ohio. The statue was massive and very visible from the road. That was the only interesting part of the drive out of Ohio, then came Michigan.
Our main goal upon entering Michigan was to go to Michigan's football stadium: The Big House. We got there, and much to our surprise, it was under heavy construction. We could not go into the stadium, but a construction worker offered to take pictures of the inside of the stadium for us.
We then headed for Gustin, Michigan. Where you ask? A tiny township in the northeast tip of Michigan on Lake Huron. There was really nothing there, not even a sign, but going there meant a lot to Gustin. While there, we saw a llama and turtle, which Adam picked up to get a picture with it, until the turtle started to urinate on him, that is.
After the stop in the Gustin Township, we drove about three hours to our hotel in Mackinaw City, Michigan. We'll spend the night here the drive the final leg of our trip. We'll drive through the Upper Peninsula tomorrow and stop by Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. From there we'll head to Minnesota for a week.
We like to call him "Touchdown Jesus" due to the way his arms are outstretched. And if you look closely, you'll see that they actually built a moat around the statue so that people won't mess with it!
