Our Day in Detroit - Part 3 (of 3)

The last of our Detroit pictures.  I'm actually a little ashamed that our grandkids know more about Detroit than we do.  We've gone there for different events over the years, but never really spent any amount of time there.  We may have to change that.  Thank you Jason, Connor & Jillian for a memorable day!

Our Day in Detroit - Part I

Today we spent the day in Detroit with Jason, Connor & Jillian.  Connor has been trying to get us to go to Detroit with them since last year & he wanted us to go to American Jewelry & Loan (where Hard Core Pawn is filmed) and to PizzaPapalis in Greektown.  We took a great tour & the 3 of them were excellent tour guides.  It was a great day & one we look forward to repeating.

miles on it & use their gas!  ;-)
