Road Trip, Pt. 3: The Ann Arbor Good Life

After Matt & Ewin's wedding I had roughly 3 days left of good old Ann Arbor chillin' before we hit the road. So we set it off with a little BBQ on Bobby's porch.

Hebrew Nationals, of course, and...

some Simpler Times. Happy.

Meanwhile, back inside, Julie was giving Josie some highlights while they sipped on some pomegranate mimosas.

Nothing beats Simpler Times and some dogs. So economical during these tough times. Sweet relish, chopped onion, and some mustard.

The girls joined us while they waited for the highlights to get did.

I thought I'd share with Grace Jones.

Post BBQ, we headed over to the brew pub. Just like old times. Work, dinner, pub, sleep. That's how it went and that's how it goes.

Man I missed Arbor beers. So tasty, strong, rejuvenating. I'm partial to the Alt #22.

The following morning, the girls and I went to Zingerman's for some sandwiches. They are a bit expensive, but it's a must when you live 1,500 miles away. Their meat and cheese, and even their bread is phenomenal.

Julie got the Zingerman's Reuben. It's the best Reuben you can get outside of NYC. I usually mash that, but I saw something else on the menu that caught my eye.

Josie got the Turkey Reuben.

I got the Carlito's #33. I had never seen it on the menu before. It must be new. Anyway, It's roasted pork shoulder. Merciful heaven.

After lunch we visited a place I had never set foot in, the Cupcake Station. It was the ladies' idea, but I was glad to participate. They had quite the selection, and who knew coffee, a cupcake, and a cigarette mesh so well together.

I asked for the Boston Cream joint. It was intense. Lot's of sugar.

Josie's cupcake was so good it made her cock-eyed.

This picture could be a music video for cupcakes with the wind blowin' in her hair and all.

Ahhhh. The Ann Arbor good life.

After the pleasant afternoon we branched out and got a bag full of 40oz Mickeys. I placed a bet with Bobby, "if I finish my 40 before you finish your 40 then I'll stay another day." He proceeded to pound his 40. Agressive.

"That was easy."

Bobby trying to show me all his apps. I hate apps. Oh, the good life. Pt. 4: Back to the Fe soon.
