We&#8217;ve never been to the west coast of Michigan and decided it&#8217;d be fun to just head out there for the night.  &#8220;I&#8217;m sure we can find a motor lodge or soemthing random to stay at.&#8221;  Yeah, apparently this is a big tourist season in St. Joseph and South Haven.  The only room we found was a 200+ dollar executive sweet at The Radison.  Jim and I were both like &#8220;uh, we&#8217;ll just keep driving.&#8221;  So we headed in an easterly direction, figuring if we couldn&#8217;t find anythign, at least we&#8217;d end up back home.<br \/>\nAfter checking the hotels at K-zoo and a little town called Ostego (spelling that town name is gonna be tough and not correct) we ended up on I-94 and made it to Battle Creek.  The first place we found was a shitty, run down Econolodge.  We ended up paying 60 bucks for a hotel room without HBO, shitty cable service, missing cover plates on the switches and ceiling lights, and hard water.  I paid fucking 60 bucks to stay at The Hamilton Selects in Mackinac City!!!  By that time it was one or two am and we couldn&#8217;t drive any further.<\/p>\n<p>The drive was fun though, and we got to the lake shore just as the sun was setting.  So all in all, it was still a damned good trip!  In a few hours I&#8217;ll have a link to my facebook photo album with some pics of the trip.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/nmu.facebook.com\/album.php?aid=2022209&#038;l=a78e8&#038;id=40602003<\/p>\n<div class='lj-moods-meta'><b>Current Mood:<\/b> &#x1F634;tired<br\/><b>Current Music:<\/b> Animals &#8211; Nickelback<br\/><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back on wednesday, pretty much on a whim, Jim and I decided to drive out to lake michigan.
