We drove to Detroit this weekend so Jonathan could go across to Canada and check out apartments for me in Windsor. We settled on one and are so happy with it! I move in on labor day weekend to wait out my US immigration process.
It was a 10.5 hour drive that Jonathan reduced to around 9.5 hours :-P . But honestly, he wasn't all that fast :) I always feel safe when he drives.
We drove through Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan to reach our destination. To keep my brain busy I noted down all the different states I saw on number plates as well as what time we reached each big city/town. We even saw a few big semi-trucks from Ontario!
A few interesting things I saw on the way -
Buttermilk Parkway?! Hehe.
Cincinnati's skyline as we drove by :)
Sunset in Ohio
Fireworks in Ohio as we drove by!
We spent the first night at my cousins' and the second at my aunt's. On Saturday my cousins, Jonathan and I headed to the Michigan Science Center which has a really fun science museum and planetarium. One floor was dedicated to nutrition .. it was all about healthy foods, heart health bla bla.
Three couch potatoes :-P
The highlight of the museum was an entire floor dedicated to the 'science of rock n roll'! They had a little recording studio where you could go sing and get yourself recorded, drums and guitars you could play on etc. We of course tried everything. So much fun!
That evening we drove to my aunt's house and had dinner with the family so they could all finally meet Jonathan!
We began our drive back home to Murray at around 11.30 a.m CST on Sunday morning. However, on the way, an outlet mall near Cincinnati slightly distracted us and a 9.5 hr journey turned into a 12 hr one because of our "small" shopping break :-D .

The water tower at Florence, a suburb of Cincinnati. Southern much? :)
