So every year I talk my two sons on a road trip where and explore the sites, museums, baseball diamonds and breweries. This will be the sixth year. We call it a Father's Day trip, but this year it will be in August. In the past we have gone to:
2017 North Dakota/South Dakota
2016 Mexico City
2015 The South (Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Bama, Miss)
2014 Utah/Nevada
2013 Northern California
Jack is age 11 and Reed is age 9. This August we will fly into Philadelphia, spending a day there then hitting the road west. I have no set plans as of yet. I want to hit Pittsburgh, Columbus, Dayton, Cleveland, Ann Arbor, Detroit, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids and lots of places in between. Hoping to hit lots of National and State Parks as well as any other points of historical/natural interest. I shy away from anything too pricey or generic (the local aquarium or kids museum). Minor league baseball? YES! Free local tradition? YES! Local killer brewery that doesn't distro, YES (if kid-tolerant).
Hoping to hit:
Brewgentlemen
Madtree
Odd Side
Founders
Voodoo
Here is where you guys come in. Looking for suggestions of breweries, points of interest, museums, restaurants (Primanti!!) and anything else you can suggest. Hoping I can meet some of you when out on the trail. This is totally self-indulgent and I will post pics in this thread this summer. Hope to hear from you!
