Besides my mishap with the family member, life was good this weekend. The kids were gone to their father's house for the weekend. I hung out with Todd, he is great about making me forget about whatever is on my mind.
We went to downtown Detroit, to the Campus Martius Park. Shops, skyscrappers, a deli and an ice skating rink surround the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. I tried to find a good photo of this monument to show you, that could do it some justice, but I have failed. Next time I go I will be sure to take some photos. If you clicked on the first link you will Campus Martius before and after pictures. The after pictures shows the new ice skating rink right in front of the Christmas tree display. The tree lighting will be next weekend, on November 18th. I would love to take the kids but I am sure that Detroit will be a mess, but I'll give it some thought.
Getting back to my trip to the city. Todd actually took me there for lunch. I love a good sandwich so he took me to the deli right next to the rink. Then he took me to see some of the sights, the architecture of the city. After that we went into Barnes & Noble to get a few books, and talk for a bit. Then we hit the Hard Rock Cafe' for some dessert. It was a nice experience. Even though I have always lived near Detroit, I have never really taken the time out to experience it's good qualities that exist there.
