Towneplace Suites By Marriott Detroit Dearborn

I am officially on my way to New York City (currently over Michigan!) and the trip is going well so far. The seat next to me on the plane is open, which always a bonus, AND our travel agent gave me a little upgrade which never hurts J

I am going to try to keep this blog as updated as possible… I hope you enjoy it!

Love,

Alexis

... de onmoeting met Brad. Brad is een 15-jarige Springsteen fan en via BTX en tennis (lang verhaal) hebben we elkaar 'gevonden'. Hij woont ook in Detroit en zou dus ook naar de show komen. Het was erg leuk om hem eindelijk eens te ontmoeten.

De show was waanzinnig. Bruce moet alleen zijn topografie een beetje bijvijzelen. Hij was blijkbaar vergeten dat hij Ohio al weer verlaten had - want het duurde even voordat hij niet meer over Ohio maar over Michigan ...

Well, it never seems like too much luggage, or maybe it does. But after you have all the stuff packed; small bag, big bag, laptop bag, carryon bag, food bag, two big coats, an extra, extra big coat for a friend from Syria, then, THEN it seems like WAY too mucch luggage. Oy! We could travel with smaller bags, but that would mean we would bring fewer gifts, and have less ...

I am still at home. Only one more week. Being away from my home for three weeks requires a lot of preparation. I even know the movie that are going to have on the Flight. I am tired already!! Since I will be on a plane for almost 24 hours, I am collecting all the necessary stuff needed to be comfortable.

This is one place, which had always intrigued me; right from my days in the middle school, where I was taught it was the motor capital of the world. The name came back into my life when Sach an Auto engineer and a close friend made base at this very beautiful, historical American city and coming to the United States and seeing the very many American cars on the roads made my zeal to see Detroit even more.



So here we were, landing and ...

... the special exhibit about chocolate though, after being to Hersey, Pennsylvania several years ago, I'm set on chocolate for life. After the museum we decided to do the factory tour. It started out with 2 movies first one about the history of the company and automobiles. Then we moved into another theater with rotating chairs. The video was about becoming a truck and so the temperature changed and the floor vibrated as we were shown all the parts of the assembly. The observation deck ...

... called Barbie's Bedford. Now he's moved a little farther east to Your Place Lounge, where he can be found at almost any time, and the fellas call him the King of East Warren. I love to see this incredible character with whom I've shared so many laughs over the years, and tonight will be a good one at the YPL. On the gig the band is in exceptional form and our opening set felt like one of the best we've ever played. The rest of the evening stayed ...

... IMAX movie...Dinosaurs in 3D. It was very interesting, especially after being in the Badlands recently watching the live dinosaur dig going on there with the paleontologists. Keegan is now interested in going on a real dinosaur dig himself! We got back to the KOA in time for the boys to play basketball (their favorite sport this week)! It was a perfect summer night and Riley was happy to go for a walk too! -Kelly

... plummeted to 0%. Anyway, at least we all ended up with beds. Our condo had 3 bunk beds in one room and a queen size bed in the other, which was perfect since Megan needed a place to crash on friday. We went over to the Radcliffe's for pizza and beer. Amazing sunset. The boys cleared out to go to the bar and the girls drank beer and watched chick flicks. Gail reinacted the Rice Krispie Treat incident of 2002, but this time with homemade rice krispies. Yummy.
