We arrived in Wixom, Michigan last week. Wixom is a small town about 30 miles west of Detroit. The trip started off with a bang. While we were traveling a glass light cover fell off and shattered the induction cooktop. Why they would design the kitchen with a glass light cover over a glass cooktop beats me... Thanks goodness Heartland is sending us a new cooktop and Joe can install it. Next great adventure was our refrigerator acting up and not cooling. The diagnosis - needs a new compressor. The repairman is supposed to fix it when we get to Ohio. By the time we are done with all the things that have gone wrong with our 5th wheel we are going to have all brand new parts.
Sunday we went to the Michigan International Speedway and saw a NASCAR race. It was Joe's first race and he seemed to like it. As you can tell from the pictures I am a Tony Stewart fan. I also like following Danica Patrick since she is the only female in the Sprint NASCAR lineup.. The Dale Jr. pictures are for Patty.. I see you smiling. It was a fun fill day. After
we left the track we drove by fields and fields of sunflowers growing. We both always thought sunflowers faced the sun, but none of these sunflowers were facing the sun. We learn new things every day. They were simply beautiful.
Our second great adventure was touring the Henry Ford Museum. We also toured the Ford plant where the F-150's are produced. The plant tour was very interesting, but no photography was allowed so you will just have to trust me. We both were very impressed as to how smart and inventive Henry Ford was. I wonder how much fun Hope and Maurine would have using these old sewing machines.
Enjoy the pictures.
Next it's off to Camp Perry, Ohio. We might try our luck fishing on Lake Erie.
