I'm always looking for something out that I can't fix at home, or have never had before, or have heard it's excellent there.  My wife will order the same item, over and over and over, once she finds one she likes.  At one place we go fairly often, they see us coming and know she'll order that appetizer, it's all she has there.

I thought supper clubs were interesting, and to me, "unique", a nice experience.  We also dined at a "club" in Duluth, the Gitchiegammie Club or something, it was something else.  I wonder if it's still there.

Kitchi Gammi Club – Duluth’s Premier Social Club

They had a friend who was a member.  That was the most upscale place I'd ever been at that time (ca. 1982).

There is a similar club almost across the street from us called the "Piedmont Driving Club".  They don't take membership requests.  You have to be invited.  We're not.

Home - Piedmont Driving Club - Atlanta, GA

Apparently there is a movie coming out "A Man in Full".  I read the book, it features that club.

Sheboygan is a great little town. And they have the best (by far) Italian restaurant I've ever been to. You must go. MUST.

Trattoria Stefano. Ask to be seated with David.

I want to make sure @Hawkinole sees this.

There's also a place in town called Legend Larry's. Great wings.

I'm looking forward to trying that Italian place in Sedona, it's not cheap of course.  I'm hoping I can con Enterprise into giving me a Mustang convertible.

It might be a bit hot for it, but whatever.  I'm taking a hat.

My wife and I ended up using Wisconsin as a drive-through state, unfortunately. We left late, and then returned early from Mackinac Island. Here are a few of my better images from this trip:

Grand Hotel by Mark Roeder, on Flickr

My deceased neighbor told us the story of when he was on the construction crew in the 1950s on this huge construction project, and look at it today:
Mackinac Bridge by Mark Roeder, on Flickr

A Great Lakes freighter, and the Mackinac Island tourist's downtown area:

A typical sight on the island of nearly no cars. (There is a construction truck or maybe two, and an ambulance).

BTW, if you click on the image it will take you to the photo on my Flickr page where you can click and expand it to see the image in complete detail. The images are not spectacular by any means, but they are pretty good for my limited capabilities.
The night image of the Mackinac Bridge involved me placing my DSLR atop a trash barrel and holding the shutter several seconds, and my nose as the barrel spewed the "odeur" of eau de rotting meat and trash. Not the greatest photo but the image of the bridge is a tribute to my neighbor who would be well over 100 if he were still living. Howard was on the construction crew that built this bridge. He died in 2017 at age 98. He served as my daughter's surrogate grandfather when her other grandfathers were miles away. He was always there as she grew up. She is 29, now.
Hillary may not be your favorite, but her mantra that it takes a village to raise a child, is a universal truism, except for the most isolated people.

Not sure if you're a golfer or if it would be allowed by your travel partner, but Michigan has some really nice courses.

I just spend 4 days in Battlecreek playing some pretty nice courses. Had a great time.

No longer a golfer. I would like to sell my clubs and bag.

Do they still run the Michigan tourism commercials with Tim Allen?

I've noticed we now get regular doses of MI, OH, KY and occasional TN marketing adds here in Indy.
