Travel from Ohio to Michigan

October 5, 2025 by NZ Filbruns Leave a Comment

After spending two weeks in Ohio, we traveled to Michigan to spend time with my mother. On the way, we met up with an author I have gotten to know online. We spent three delightful hours with Chautona Havig and her daughter in a park.

Mr. Imagination was quite bored, so I handed him the camera when we saw a black squirrel, and he practiced photography.

We drove past a large wind farm along the western side of Ohio.

After spending the night with my sister and her family, we drove north through Amish country.

The children were intrigued by the fields of seed corn.

I was startled at the sight of Amish houses with solar panels mounted on the roofs!

This was at an intersection in Middlebury.

We came up behind this truck as we drove north through Michigan.

We made a detour to visit an ice cream shop that a former employee of ours started recently, in Caledonia, Michigan. He makes small batches of specialty ice cream. It is delicious!

If you are near Grand Rapids, I highly recommend Oliver Gramm ice cream, in downtown Caledonia!
