Only a week left in January and of course it was hovering in the low 50s this past weekend. No snow, only rain and lots of fog. Michigan. Global Warming.
On Saturday, Ajax and I headed into Detroit for the International Auto Show at Cobo. We swung by Livonia and picked up my dad and cousin, Mike, before heading downtown. When I was little my dad and I would go to the Auto Show every year, it was our thing and we loved it. I was so excited to share it with Ajax and he enjoyed it as well. Ajax said that his favorite were the big Ram trucks and Jeeps (of course). He climbed into every vehicle he could and jumped up and down in the beds of the trucks. Afterwards, we headed to our favorite restaurant in Mexican Town before heading home. It was a great day.
While we were in Detroit, Dave and Noomi had a “princess day.” Noomi picked out one of her fancy dresses and Dave took her for her first mani/pedi at a place in town. Noomi was adorable and beyond thrilled. She was also shy and refused to sit in the pink princess chair, instead she would only sit on Dave’s lap. Several women asked Dave why he was doing princess day (the obvious being, why isn’t mom doing princess day) and he responded proudly that dad’s could do princess day as well, plus mom was at the Detroit Auto Show with the boy kid.
Afterwards, they got an oil change and checked out a new game store downtown. Now, I realize the oil change place may not seem so cool for a 4 year old, but this place is different. The guys that run the place love to give the kids suckers and always talk to the kids about their day. Both kids love going to the oil change place, lol.
On Sunday, it was a quiet- grocery shopping, cleaning, laundry type of day. Typical Sunday. The neighbor kid came over to play, but that was about it.
Oh and the idiot man child Donald Trump was sworn in as our 45th President of the United States on Friday… Mad Max Days be a Comin’.
