Motor City
You'd never know it from reading my posts because I blogged ahead but I was up in Detroit for most of last week. I was here to be exact. This is Trumbull and Porter a fairly new place in close proximity to the city's stadiums.
It was a great place for Pup. We had our own patio that opens onto a big fenced in courtyard where she was free to roam. We were practically the only people in the hotel since there were no games scheduled while we were there.
We went up to visit this guy and the Grands. DIL was out of town and we pitched in to help with the Grand's mornings and evenings.
Middle Son did the cooking while The Mister and I played. Here are the little fellas under Charming Stars. I made it out of the scraps from a big quilt I made for Son ages ago. Now it's a fort, as it should be. I also dropped off the two Gray Blobs. I wasn't going to put any of these in the mail so off we went on an adventure to deliver them.
While Son was at work and the Grands were in school, The Mister and I explored the city. I really like Detroit. Unlike DC, it has a sense of humor-and a dog bar. Seriously, it has a bar that is set up for dog owners to knock back a few with Fido. I love it.
We walked a bit of the River Walk but most of it was closed off for construction.
I waved hello to all my Canadian friends. We were this close. The bridge and tunnel were right down the street from our hotel but we don't have passports. Maybe next time.

How fun you sneaky lady! And none of us knew. I'm glad you had a good time and I'm sure the Grands had a grand time playing with you. We had Piper and Lizzie over for a few hours today just because she wanted to hang out. She went with Papa to see Grammy and then with me to the Dollar Tree. Then we played Sorry for awhile and did homework. Such exciting times. :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you're home safe and sound now.
Blessings and hugs,

I never would have guessed that you were away, but it sounds like a great visit! Dropping off the Gray Blobs in person, Charming Stars as a fort, and the great hotel were all wonderful, and then there is the Dog Bar! My town is woefully deficient in bars of any sort but I would be at a Cat Bar every night if there were one close by.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful getaway for all three of you!! Isn't it nice to be needed still?! The exploring looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely trip. How nice you were able to spend time with your son and family (and hand deliver the sweaters). It is nice to get a change of scenery every once in a while.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything better than a quilt fort? My vote is "no."
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun getaway, and it's always fun to see the Grands, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a good time! As did Pup!
ReplyDeleteYou know... you were only an hour and a half from me!!! Next time you head that way, if you'd like to meet - give me a shout! I'd happily skip across the border to meet you, the mister, and of course pup!
ReplyDeleteYou are organised to have a week of posts set up! I struggle to write one post a week ;). Sounds like you had a great time with family. The hotel is a interesting building, I never would have guessed it was a hotel!
ReplyDeleteI could have been in Windsor in about 2 hours. My passport is up for renewal so I had to exchange it for our applications. Cheryl aka seajaes
