Lots of visiting!

Last Friday around midnight my sister and her hubby arrived for a little visit.

We had so much planned to do - and actually did all of it!

On Saturday we went to see the Tigers play at

Comerica Park. We got rained on and then we sizzled with

the heat! And in the end, the Tigers lost to Minnesota.

Afterwards we went to eat at a great Italian restaurant,

DiFratelli's here in Shelby Township.

Sunday we went to Greenfield Village. Always a fun place to visit.

But again, it was very warm - and I managed to get a sunburn.

Sunday evening we all gathered here for a balloon memorial

in honor of my dad and mom. Fun to see the

balloons flying up into the sky!

Monday we went to the Chrysler Museum in Rochester. Gerry is a

real gear-head so he loved seeing all the cars. Saw a

1984 Chrysler Minivan - the first one off the line. We had

one too! Apparently Lee Iacocca got right into this one

and got locked inside! After that they had to manually

check the automatic door locks to be sure they worked properly!

Tuesday we went to Frankenmuth for a great chicken dinner. We

drove there on all side roads - you see a lot of small towns that way!

Wednesday we stopped by Kari's to say goodbye and then had lunch

on the St. Clair river. Beautiful lakeside scenes!

Then it was off to the Flint airport. They arrived at the airport

at 5:00 pm and had a 5:45 flight out - cutting that one close!

They already had boarding passes and seat assignments - just

had to check their baggage. We always go early to get

exit aisle seating - we have long legs and get claustrophobic in the

regular seats! After leaving the airport we got in the

middle of a nice summer storm - lots of rain, wind and hail!

I am sure we have a few dents and dings from that!

Good to visit with Dee and Gerry and hope they come back again soon!

Next time we will head for the Mackinaw Bridge and some UP sites!
