Chris was bed ridden for a week with a strained Achilles tendon and it was 2 more weeks before we could get back on our bikes. We visited Chris's family outside of Cleveland, OH, catching up with Grandpa Gene and Judy, who in relaxed fashion ("no parties this year") cooked food and tracked down Janik descendants from near and... about an hour away: Jill, Jacqui, Andy, Joe, Jesse, Lauren, Dominic, Aiden, and of course the dutiful spouses. And knowing that Chris would miss Mannie's wedding, we met up with him for dinner and excellent local beer at the Fat Head Brewing Company on our way back to Michigan.The Wheatland traditional music festival represents Chris's annual homecoming.
Aside from attending the actual festival with Ben, Liz, Geno and Tish, we saw Erin (Chris's sister) and Brian, and made a couple trips to Bell's Brewery - where one drinks the finest microbrews and inevitably runs into old friends. Finally we were ready enough and house-crazy enough to get back on the road.
