Road trip to Alpena, MI - Day Three

July 28th, 2012 - We started our day today with a visit to Santa Claus, Indiana.   Small town with a wonderful Christmas Store and other shops - appears the main attraction is Holiday Town an amusement and water park - there was traffic backed up for miles in every direction to get in the parking lot!


We stopped for lunch at Frisch's Big Boy!  Had to get a picture of Andy with Big Boy!!

Finally made to to Fort Wayne, IN.   My Grandpa Jack lived here from 1910 until 1935.  My mom took me  by the address of the home they lived in, it is now a liquor store, which is fitting.  We then went to Lindenwood Cemetery. Here my grandparents, Helen and Jack are buried as well as my Great Grandmother Florence Edythe, her parents, her uncle and her grand parents.  Below is a picture of the memorial for my grandparents.


Off to Alpena, MI tomorrow!
