I know, I know...I'm late

I was supposed to post the exciting climax to my trip as soon as I got home, but I got busy and just plain forgot....so, here it is.


We left Chicago the next afternoon, but not without one last stop to Wacker Drive. The drive to Detroit was pretty uneventful.

But I did see a very pretty rainbow just as we were pulling into Detroit city limits.


The next day, before we began our long journey back to Toronto, we stopped off at The Henry Ford Museum - THE coolest museum I've ever been to! We saw such sights as:
The original Weinermobile

A cool train(that I of course HAD to go sit in....)

A cool old-timey roadside diner (the last picture is of the lady who worked there!)An airplane....Old Billboards....And of course, lots of cool cars.

There were also a lot of important historical artifacts, such as

The bus (and seat) Rosa Parks was on when she defied Jim Crow laws in Alabama by refusing to give up her seat to a white passengerThe chair President Lincoln was sitting in when he was assassinated
And the car Kennedy was in when he got shot.

It was an amazing museum - a great way to end an amazing vacation.

And so, we crossed the bridge back into Canada, and made our way home. I had a wonderful time, and I hope you enjoyed travelling with me, even if it was just virtually.
