| We visited Michigan over Halloween weekend. Although we didn’t dress up for halloween, we still got plenty spooked. I felt like the Detroit area is such a sad place. What used to be booming is so, so quiet now. We found so many buildings just vacant, while next door someone might be living in that house. I also just read an article about Detroit talking about most of the restaurants in the city & that most of the people eating in those restaurants are 90% white customers. It does make me wonder if there is a divide in this city. This city once was booming, & it was quite an experience seeing what remained. |

| We went and visited the neighborhood where Motown started. It was so cool learning about how everything got started, & how they got involved in the music industry. We were able to visit the legendary recording studio where all the singers would record. |
 |
| We visited the Henry Ford Museum! We saw all the vehicles the Presidents of the United States drove in. & every President had their own style of car. We saw a lot of other cool stuff, but of course we saw so much of the car industry while we were there. I was fascinated by all the old advertisements in the 1900’s. I thought they were hilarious. Back then there was a substitute that came out for sugar, but later they realized it was causing cancer. With all the new stuff that comes out these days, I feel like I am safe sticking to regular old butter & sugar. |

| We went to the Big House! It was freezing!!!! The sun came out & was hitting us for a little bit, & it felt so good & relaxing, I fell asleep! Who falls asleep at a football game? |
 |
| We toured the University of Michigan & they had an awesome museum with lots of artists I know & love. We also went to another museum in Detroit that had some great pieces. |
 |
| We visited a cider mill, the most popular one of course! It had amazing hot cider & doughnuts. I was pleasantly surprised. The sun came out while we were there, & it was so nice. |
 |
| We came to Michigan mostly to visit these sweet friends of ours! Jared & Taylor grew up together, & have been friends for a long time. I actually met Jared & Kelsey when Taylor & I started dating. So I consider them good friends now too! It has been almost 5 years since we started dating! That is crazy. We do love exploring too, & what better time to come to Michigan? Look how cute their little girl is? She is a doll. Her name is Olivia. |
