Ford Museum

 This past weekend we had the opportunity to go to the Henry Ford Museum up in Dearborn, Michigan. It was a lot of fun. The museum was very well done and we had a blast hanging out with Carrie and her girls.

  "I'm a hot dog!" "EAT ME!" 

Em especially wanted Boyd to come eat her. 

Her exact words were "Allison, will you take a picture of Boyd eating me" 

 I love cool cars

 I love that coral (the color) is becoming popular again. I love this color. 

I took a picture of this VW just because I liked the color. 

So . . . 

I have this thing for Corvettes

I love them

 A Lot

The museum also had a fun collection of racing cars

 including this beauty. The Goldenrod . . .

Seriously love these girls. They are so much fun.

 The museum had other cool things like furniture, lighting, stoves, you name it.

 (Check out the flash in the middle camera.)

I love the progression of the camera.

 This is Abe Lincoln's Chair 

(yes, the chair from the Ford Theater)

 BIG TRAINS!

 This train looks like a bunch of stage coaches  ha. 

One thing I really enjoyed about the museum was the "kid friendly" aspect. 

This is a play garage where you can pretend to fix cars.

You can even climb inside the car

 

Boyd especially loved the paper airplane activity. 

They give you instructions on how to build a paper plane and then you get to fly it!

haha. 

 Thanks for the fun Carrie!

Washington D.C.: Lost

Have you ever been to Washington D.C.? 

Have you ever been lost? 

Story of our whole trip!

Our dang GPS would tell us to turn right, however it when we went to turn right there were too many options like right-straight, slight-right, right-right, and right-right almost turn around. AHH!

We got sooooo lost so many times it was insane. 

BUT

Because we got lost we found Ewagema.
Boyd has always wanted to go to Ewagema. 

When we got there the walk just wasn't worth it. 

Saturday morning we were driving around and missed our turn and some how ended up back on the highway. Boyd was trying to figure out a way to turn around when we saw a sign for Ewagema! It was a miracle. Maybe we were supposed to get lost. We talked to Boyd's dad later on and asked why they never went to Ewagema. He said that he couldn't ever find it. Haha.

 It was a lot bigger than I imagined.

Next we revisited Abe in the day time. He is still super cool.

 Since we still had our AWESOME bikes we rode up to the Botanical gardens.

Then we rode to the Capital. 

I was putting the camera in the bag and still had my finger on the shutter. 

Then we rode to the Library of Congress. It was fantastic on the inside. 

 Our last pit stop was a drive by cathedral shot.

The end. 

We had a ton of fun. 

I'm sure glad we were able to squeeze this trip in.
