After leaving DTW, we headed out into Detroit traffic. We thought Houston was bad! Whew! Traf-fic competition. The kids got to see the largest tire along the way. 
We also got to see Alex, Aunt Gina and Uncle Ed. After some super falafel sandwiches, and some primo play time with Alex, we hit the road again to see Grandma Kay. We love that other Roadside America attractions along the way included dual spottings of gigantic Babe the Blus Ox, and Paul Bunyan. We passed Dinosaur Gardens, though we didn't go for a visit this time. I do love the ingenuity of the off scale, plaster creatures from the 30's. I promised the kids a trip to the Teepee Motel in Wharton too. 
Another plaster palace, filled with great memories, and someone's fun idea. During the week, Doug got a chance to kayak on Lake Huron. Grandma Kay and E.J. are witnesses. We also spent the day visiting with the Connolly clan. We vote for roadside journeys everytime. There's a slice of imagination and hard work in nearly every off-beat design.
