The Henry Ford/Greenfield Village/Titanic

Traffic Jam at Greenfield Village (haha)

Today was another really packed day! We started out bright and early with a trip to Hollywood Market and bought them out of all of their Faygo, which was a must for the trip. We have to bring lots of diet Rock & Rye home with us along with Chocolate cream pie and Vanilla.

Later we went over to the Henry Ford. Last trip here, two years ago, we went to Greenfield Village and got just drenched a few minutes into the trip and barely saw even a few places. Today was just the opposite. We saw so much. That man put so much into getting together the most fascinating collection of homes, workshops, cars, and other rare items into one place. I have a really hard time picking just one favorite. I would really be remiss if I didn't say I loved Noah Webster's Library though, being a librarian in the making.

 Then there was the ride on the train:

We also took a tour of the Titanic exhibit, which my person survived by the way. As part of the tour I was given the name of a person that actually boarded the ship and at the end I was able to look on the list and see that she survived the voyage. Pretty neat.


And finally to finish up the day we spent the evening visiting with our great friends Roland and Lynn. That was such a wonderful treat. We visited for a couple of hours and had a wonderful dinner, sat around and talked and then made our way back to the hotel.

Tomorrow we will leave the Wingate Hotel and Auburn Hills and make our way to Frankenmuth, MI.
