2014 Road Trip – Tröegs and Devons

Tröegs beer flight

One of the main reasons we chose to go this route was a suggestion by another friend (also named Dan) who heard Tröegs Brewing Company had some killer microbrews and he was spot on.  Took the brewery tour, enjoyed fresh beer and filled up some growlers to bring back home.  They had a good food program but … Read more

Achondroplastic Dwarf display at The Mütter Museum

Dan had the idea to stop at the Mütter Museum which Wikipedia aptly describes as “a collection of medical oddities, anatomical and pathological specimens, wax models, and antique medical equipment”.  Some very strange stuff here but like nothing you will see anywhere else.
