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.
