yellow jacket, hard hat

25 November 2009

Does everyone want to take their children to nearly every place they went as a child? I feel like I am in retro retread week.  I promise I wouldn’t take them to Sea World in Ohio if that were even open anymore.

If you drive up to the UP in Michigan, just across the border at Iron Mountain and head 9 miles east, toward Vulcan, you will come to the Iron Mountain Iron Mine. You buy your tickets (this $1 off coupon will help), don a slick yellow jacket and a hard hat, and ride on the tram deep into the earth. And see iron mining. It is a sort of dirty, cold, fascinating tour.

200 miles, 4 hours

And how about to make it more appealing, how about a hotel, with indoor pool and free breakfast. We’d take 2 cars and the grandparents and the great-grandparents. It is Great-Grandma’s birthday, so we would have to add in a nice dinner.
