Detroit, Michigan

For one last summer trip, I went with Brad to Detroit.
Brad had to work at his company's headquarters for a week, and I was hoping to spend time in the hotel room catching up on a million things I hadn't had time to do all summer.
Well, I didn't even get a fraction of the things done that I wanted to, but I sure had fun.
We spent one whole day with Brad's boss Gordy, his wife Maureen, and one of Brad's co-workers Chang So and his family.
After catching a Detroit Tiger's game in downtown Detroit, we walked through the park and along the Detroit River boardwalk, while listening to stories from Gordy's childhood (who grew up in Detroit).
The riverfront was beautiful, and the Chrysler Headquarter Buildings were pretty awesome.
It was neat to look across the river and see a huge ocean liner, casino, and other buildings lining the riverfront, only they were actually in Canada!
A picture of us all just chillin
The day ended with an authentic Korean meal. You're going to have to tilt your head sideways to see, but I was proud of the fact that I actually ate this stuff, and even kind of liked it.
Another co-worker of Brad's and his wife (Doug & Mindy) joined us for dinner (Incidentally, Mindy went into labor the next day). We had a wonderful time in Detroit, and want to thank Gordy and Maureen for showing us the sites, and for taking such good care of us!

That looks like a great trip. Way to be brave and eat Korean food. I am totally impressed. I liked the pictures. I haven't seen such a big river since we were out east last!
