Ypsilanti, MI June 12-17

We arrived at the Detroit-Greenfield RV Park in Ypsilanti MI and were immediately welcomed by two swans at our site. After Ray tossed them our soggy leftover sandwiches we learned that Michigan law prohibits feeding swans or geese. Darn!

The next day we did lots of shopping at Camping World and watched antique cars and trailers (beautiful machines!) come into the RV Park for a rally.

The next two days were devoted to the Henry Ford Museum and we only touched the surface, viewing the two smallest sections. We did the Rouge Factory Tour where F150 trucks were in production (fascinating--unfortunately no pictures were allowed) and the indoor museum (viewing the chair and car in which respectively Lincoln and Kennedy were assassinated). We also saw the bus where Rosa Parks made her civil rights stand and listened to her on tape. This was a museum to rival the Smithsonian.

The final day that we were in town we had lunch with my nephew Jason, his wife Jackie and their two childen, Madison and Gavin. I forgot to snap a family picture (duh), but we now proudly display on our refrigerator the gifts that Madison and Gavin gave us. (Thanks for the artwork and the hugs too!)
