Day Five (7/7) Coming Home

We spent the night near Denver so we could fly out early. However our flight leaving Denver was delayed and we missed our connecting flight in Detroit. You know the frustrating way...you can still see the plane at the gate, but since 9/11 once the door has shut they won't reopen it for anyone. So the next flight didn't leave until 9pm and we were looking at a seven hour wait. I asked Go Postal if there was anything in Detroit worth visiting and he quickly responded The Henry Ford. This museum was incredible. We only had about two hours but we made it through the highlights (and all the cars at least) There was a special exhibit of Rock and Rollers and their cars. This one is owned by Jimmie Vaughn (Stevie Ray's brother).

This visit let Go Postal check an item off his bucket list. We definiely learned that there is a ton to see in Detroit, maybe we will make it back someday.

The red car to the right is the ZZ Top car used in a bunch of their videos, we also saw one from Elvis and many many more.

1939 Dodge Texaco delivery tanker.....

One of the original weiner mobiles.....

Good thing he doesn't have to use this to deliver mail, he prefers his Subaru!

So when life gives you scraps....Make a Quilt. We ended up turning a very frustrating delay into a great side trip.

Our trip was a blast, I am tired and yet refreshed. Thanks Dairy Queen and Whole Wheat for all your hospitality. We miss you but are so glad we got to visit!!
