Wednesday, July 9, 2008 - Chicago, IL to Detroit, MI

Day 12 -

From Chicago to Detroit, a brief stop at the beach in Indiana. We went to the Indiana Dunes State Park, on the south shores of Lake Michigan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Dunes_State_Park

These are sand dunes.



And we made it to Michigan!


And to Benton Harbor, for the House of David Museum. The House of David was a religious organization whose members played baseball and basketball (among many other things) in the early part of the last century. http://www.houseofdavidmuseum.org/




We then went to Kalamazoo and paid a visit to Stephanie's friend Barb who lives on 26 acres with deer, ponds and 2 dogs.


She also grows some insanely large vegetables.


As big as Todd's arm!


The view from our seats at Comerica!


The Tigers hit a home run (and they are happy).


They have a baseball ferris wheel.


And topiaries in the shape of ballplayers.


Here's the Tiger!


We were there!


The whole field.


The Tigers-only carousel.


And a late-inning rally to beat the still-slumping Indians.


Tigers baseball.



Thanks Detroit!
