Day 31 August 2nd 2011:
Good evening from Monroe, Michigan. Today was a great and busy day…after some work this am., we pushed out early to head to Ford for my 2:00pm meeting. On the way, I passed several towns I used to work in and called an old friend I have not seen in years to see if he happened to be around…as good luck was on our side, he was and we met at Exit 69, Big Beaver Road……I will pause here for the dramatic humor of what I just wrote. Now Geoff is a character, but he didn’t make this up, nor did he pick it for any other reason other than it was his exit and I was passing it! We met and spent some time catching up in a Fridays parking lot…man I forgot what a character he is, and how much I enjoyed working with him at JCI….Thanks Geoff, it was great seeing you!!!! Also, our motorhome has a new nickname…SHAMU!
After that went to Ford, and like Superman, less the powers and good looks, changed into a suit – glad it fit after 31 days on the road – and went to see a DATACENTER!!!!!! A large one albeit, and actually a great opportunity for our firm…My contact Frank, was great and gave me a ton of tips and places to visit after we were done with business. A short 1 hr. visit, but well worth the time!
After that we drove BY the Ford Museum and Village…saw some of it, but the kids didn’t want to stop. Looks like a place Patty and I will come see again…On the way to our next destination we stopped at a Bob Evens, and ate like we were all going to the electric chair. We had a blast, and laughed our butts off…especially when an 80 yr old cougar told Michael he was cute like JUSTIN BEIBER!!!!! Absolutely priceless!!!!
On a side note, I sit sometimes and watch our family and cannot believe we have been in the motorhome for 31 days, and we are all still smiling and laughing…It is amazing just how fortunate and blessed we are! It has been an awesome adventure thus far, and we are all really dragging our feet to get home. We miss you all, but this time we are together is just priceless!
Tonight we are staying at a campground with GO-KARTS, and other stuff, and will stay here tomorrow since I have a few calls and other work…best I not drive…lol (is this better Andrew?). Then we are off to Cedar point Thursday and Friday and home God willing Saturday…the next few days will not be a lot of photos, but I will update the day’s events…so until the next blog, please have a Blessed Day!
The trucks in Michigan all have like 8 - 10 axles...Very strange.
Eminem's Street - a rapper for those that don't know...The kids thought this was cool.
You can see it in the large photo there is a stop sign to the left that is SO small, compared to this sign made of grass...Very Large.
This is a Town who tried stopping a Hooters! Go figure...BTW, Hooters is now on this road...SPEECHLESS!
Good friends...good times!
