And down to Detroit for more Deb time!

Deb hooked us up in a friends driveway, and from there we were able to see a ton.

Lake swimming, people seriously do this - no ocean around.




The Henry Ford Museum



 Hot dog, anyone?




Rosa Parks Bus, wow what a hands on experience!



The Wright Brothers




Charles Kuralt's RV - I like mine better.


We ended the day with a quick trip into Canada, only we didnt have documentation so they were a bit upset with us. We got home, however, after some rigorous questioning.



And to feed our appetites after such an experience, Five Guys was in order.



The next day the kids and I went back to see Greenfield Village. 
It was so spectacular, the amount of history there.





Heinz 57!


Thomas Edison's house



A 1750's working farm house.


As close as we'll get to the Cotswolds on the trip, but tea services was closed.


Daniel Webster's House




William McGuffy, of McGuffy Reader, his school.


George Washington Carver's place.


A Round house - O got to push the rounder around.



No pics, but the arts village was awesome - glass blowing, carding wool, 
cutting timber, pottery and more


Highlights by Mom:
  • Seeing Deb and Phil and staying in Shirley's driveway
  • Staying in MI longer, we love it
  • All of the Henry Ford area, what a field trip!
  • Getting my kids through Homeland Security without documentation!
  • Movies and relaxing
  • Burgers at Five Guys
  • Owen making a friend while riding his bike around
  • Cedar Point with Deb and Phil, but that's Ohio
