It was a trip.

We made a quick trip to Detroit, playing in the sand at Belle Isle beach, visiting Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford, trying to catch a Tigers game at Comerica Park.
The big boys admitted that Dearborn was more fun than they anticipated but they're easy to please with hotel pools and breakfast buffets. Tucker was enthralled by a Thomas Edison actor telling his story at Menlo Park, and fascinated by the Wright Brothers cycle shop. Tuck also spent a lot of time trying to figure out the probability machine. Tolliver enjoyed the Heroes of Flight exhibit and riding in a Model T. Hank's very favorite thing was the MTV green screen at the museum; he made approximately fifteen music videos with dance moves that attracted a fairly large audience. We owe the boys a raincheck for the ballgame, and are hoping for a more relaxing getaway in the near future.
