Posted by Maureen on Aug 3, 2012 in Featured Slider, Restaurants, Road Trip, Travel | 0 comments This morning is our last morning in Boston.

We have a leisurely start and decide to take a mini road trip to Wisconsin for a late lunch. Frank’s Diner in Kenosha has been featured on “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives”. Frank’s covers “diners” and “dives”. The drive to Kenosha is unremarkable highway. The Smith Falls-sized town is pretty...
