Henry Ford Museum

We got up at about 8:30 a.m. and went downstairs for the complimentary breakfast. We checked out of the Comfort Inn and drove over to the Henry Ford Museum. They had an outdoor display for the Ford Rouge Tour where they make the Ford F-150 pick-up trucks. We started walking through the museum at a little after 10:00 a.m. and the first stop was "Rock Stars Cars & Guitars." After we finished looking at the cars and guitars the boys played Guitar Hero II for a little while. We walked through the Your Place In Time Area and went through the Dymaxion House designed by Buckminster Fuller. We walked through the Made in America area and then over to the Heroes of The Sky and saw the historic planes and made paper airplanes. The boys made vehicles and tested them on the ramps and then we looked at all the automobiles, trucks, race cars, trains and horse driven vehicles. We walked past the presidential limousines and Kennedy's Limousine he was shot in and over to the With Liberty And Justice For All Section and saw George Washington's Bed, Abraham Lincoln's Chair he was sitting in when he was shot and the Rosa Parks Bus. On the way out we saw the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile. We left the museum at about 2:30 and headed back to the cottage. We stopped for dinner at Applebee's in Ionia, Michigan on the way back. It was another great day.
