Michigan

I got to go to Michigan last week to visit my best friend, Angie! It was a blast! Keith was suppose to be out of town but Angie had the wrong dates so we got to hang out with him too. And Angie's sister Kristi and her baby were there too. Domino Pizza's main office is in Ann Arbor and has a petting farm on their property. We found out when we got there that it has nothing to do with Domino's. They had a lot of animals and it Kristi's little girl LOVED it! She was so fun to watch. They had the cutest baby donkeys. We also went to the Botanical Gardens at U of M. None of us realized that there wouldn't be a whole lot of flowers because the time of year. But it was still really pretty and we saw a baby rattler!

We visited a local apple orchard and took a wagon ride around the orchard. It was a very relaxing ride that I think we all needed. We went to a pumpkin patch so we could carve pumpkins. Unfortunately, only Angie and I got to carve them. We didn't get around to doing them until after Kristi and Keith left Sunday night. We also went to the raspberry farm and picked LOTS of raspberries. Too bad they wouldn't keep for me to bring some home. But they were so good!

The last day I was there, Angie and I went to the Henry Ford museum. It was really neat. He has collected several neat historical things. He has the Kennedy limo that JFK was shot in. It was off getting new windows so we didn't get to see that. But we saw the Oscar Meyer Wiener mobile. The bus that Rosa Parks rode on. We both sat in the seat she sat in. We saw the Lincoln Chair that he was sitting in when he was assassinated. There was a car of the future that was pretty sweet. They also had an exhibit of "Extraordinary Costumes from Film and Television." We saw the Bat Mobile and the Ghost buster car. They were sweet. We weren't allowed to take pics of the costumes. But I took video of the cars and grabbed a snap shot of them. They also had lots of cars, trains, carriages, bikes, TVs etc. Its a really neat museum!

It was such a fun week!! I can't wait for Keith to graduate so they can come home next summer! I missed Dustin like crazy but it was a great "girls" weekend with Keith tagging along. :)

We stayed up WAY too late every night. Lots of great shopping and great sights.

Thanks for such an awesome week!!
