Home again.
Nothing says home like a trip to a Michigan classic, the Chick-Inn Drive-In in Ypsilanti (Ypsi for you locals). This has to be by far one of the best drive-in restaurants around. We stopped in to eat after my parents picked us up from the airport. Yes, sometimes the road best traveled is by air so technically it is the air best traveled. ;) We had a good flight back to the mitten state and will full stomachs we headed to my parents to rest up for the travels ahead.

Pere Marquette 11
Alllllllllllllll Aboard!!!!!!!!
We headed out today with no real destination in mind. We headed up 495 to 270 and then got off on some state highway in Maryland. Ventured through the countryside and wound up in Baltimore. We made a stop at the visitors center which is right at Inner Harbor. We picked up some brochures on things to possibly do and then strolled along the harbor and back to our car. We punched in the address for the B&O Railroad Museum and made the 5 minute drive over there. We pulled in and were welcomed by engines and train cars. We found some parking and then entered the museum. We had a coupon for buy 1, get 1 free which was very helpful.
We strolled through the different exhibits and out into the roundhouse where we looked at engines and train cars from the stage coach era to modern time. We walked out into the train yard and into another building that houses the largest and most powerful engine ever built. That thing was HUGE!
We had a great time there and ended the day with a train ride on the first set of commercial tracks ever laid. Very cool.
We took US-40 home through Frederick, Maryland and then down US-340 and US-15 to Leesburg.
A lot of miles were covered and a lot of neat places were explored.
