Detroit International Auto Show 2011

We have lived in Detroit for four years--not consecutively mind you.  This is the first year we made it to the international auto show.  It is a huge deal around here.  Our friends Tim and Melanie came last year to go.  They spent the night ad then went.  We didn't go along last year, but this year we did.  Yes, Tim and Melanie came to visit and it ended up being the same time as last year.  They didn't come specifically to see the auto show, but we needed something fun to do inside on Saturday.  So, we piled into the car after Kyper's nap.  We took the People Mover to Cobo Center.  I have never seen the People Mover so full.  We were crammed into it like sardines.  There were so many people on the People Mover and they were almost all going to the auto show or the Red Wings game that was going on Saturday afternoon. 






I think Kyper got a kick out of the auto show.  He enjoyed it from his stroller most of the time.  But, Joel let him get out and run around the Land Rovers.  The guys working that area gave him a hat that they said he would grow into.  It is super cute when he puts it on.  Tim, Melanie, Joel and I all got free t-shirts from VW.




We had a lot of fun with Tim and Melanie besides going to the auto show.  We didn't do too much, but they came in on Friday and spent the night.  We had a relaxing morning and played the Wii.  We then went to the auto show.  After the auto show we were thinking of going out to eat, but it was so busy downtown we passed.  We headed back to our house.  We joined Tim's netflix family account, so we ended the evening ordering pizza and watching Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
