On the road again.....

My little poser in front of the spring display in the foyer at the Motor City Casino in Detroit where Mike & Yvonne stayed.


May sees us packing up and heading off on a road trip to the North of the USA to meet up with Brad's Dad Mike and his wife Yvonne. We left home in Oakville on the morning of Tuesday the 12th and headed for Detroit. The trip South was relatively uneventful in itself.............until we reached the US border. We didn't realise that in order to travel across the border via tunnel that we would have to pay a toll. We did not have cash and they did not accept debit or credit cards. This meant that we had to re-enter Canada (even though we had not yet left the country) via customs (which involved about a 40min wait), find an ATM and get cash out and then we were once again on our way. We made it to Detroit and met up with Mike and Yvonne the next morning for brekky.

Riley and Nana Yvonne teaching Emily how to step off the escalators.

We spent two days in Detroit and due to fatigue and some pretty crappy weather we chose to relax and get ready for our next big trip so we did not get out and do any sight-seeing here.
