Our journey begins!

Ryan and I hit the open road this morning around 10:30 a.m. and headed for Madison, Wisconsin. Along the way, we had the opportunity to stop and see some interesting sights.

First up was scenic Mattawan, Michigan. Located roughly an hour from the MI/IN border, Mattawan offers visitors a chance to visit their newly renovated McDonald's and visit their grocery store. Ryan and I spent about half an hour there before hitting the road.

Our next stop was Chicago, where we made an impromptu stop at Jenny McGrath's apartment, but sadly she was not there to open her doors to us.

We then planned on visiting the International Clown Hall of Fame, but nobody picked up the phone when we called to check on their hours of operation.

We then set out to visit Wisconsin's largest city, Milwaukee. What can I say about Milwaukee, except that it was "underwhelming." We saw Water street and Brady street, neither of which impressed us. There didn't appear to me much to do in Milwaukee except get insanely hammered. Ryan was in awe of the lack of divirsity. Never before had he seen a whiter city. I told him to just wait until we got to Madison (we'll be visiting there first thing tomorrow morning).

Tonight will be our first night camping. We set up our tent at the Madison KOA kampground and we'll see how it goes. So far, its raining cats and dogs and our tent has already sprung a leak, despite the fact that Ryan spent two days waterproofing the thing. Hopefully, we can do some more touch-up work on the tent when its a little more dry.
