We wanted to spend more time there than just flying in and out. We opted to spend some time by the riverfront of the Detroit River. We targeted the Renaissance Center as the spot to go.
I have to admit it made me a bit angry to see this opulent building, owned by a company that was bailed out by we, the people.
The ground floor had car displays. 
We grabbed some lunch in the food court and then headed out the doors to the river.
Across the river is Windsor, Ontario, Canada which is south of Detroit!
We walked along the river a little ways. There was a riverboat and a monument to Detroit’s Underground Railroad.
And just like anywhere that has water, they had seagulls (I just liked the picture and wanted to work it in here!)
Then we headed to the airport and flew to Salt Lake City. We had to get Jennifer back to her apartment because she was supposed to work at 6 am. The real pity is that Paul could not remember where he parked the car!
The biggest challenge returning home was transporting a whole bunch of chocolate on a hot day in the middle of summer while driving across Nevada in an un-air conditioned car.
About half way home, we came up with the bright of idea of keeping it cool with dry ice. Most of the goodies made it home with little meltage so Allie could sample them in their intended form.
It was a GREAT trip but it sure was nice to return home!
