Ann Arbor

Justin, Jonah, and I drove down to Ann Arbor to meet my dad for the weekend. He was in Ohio for work, so we met in the middle. Ann Arbor ended up being a really nice town and we found lots of things to do.

We did our own walking tour of Michigan University's sports complex including their football stadium which the picture below does not do justice. It is a massive structure with really nice brickwork. We saw a girls lacrosse camp practice, and a baseball camp scrimmage. We found a cute deli for lunch and later on we took Jonah to Domino Farms to the petting zoo. We got some great pictures, which I will share as soon as I get them downloaded (that may be a problem seeing as I left the connector cord in Baltimore! Jonah wasn't quite sure what to think about all the goats who were very excited at the prospect of carrots. The farm also had Alpaca, pigs, bunnies, and peacocks. The hayride was lame, but then Jonah isn't quite old enough to fully appreciate such things.
We ate dinner at a hamburger place featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives called Crazy Jim's Blimpy Burger. Their "from the deep" section of the menu included fried cauliflower and zuchinni along with the standard onions and mushrooms. It was a little disappointed, actually - especially later that night when all the greasiness made me sick!
We caught the tail end of a summer music concert on campus and enjoyed walking around. We had a great visit with my dad and were glad to get to spend the weekend with him!

You lucky Daddy! I know your Mama wishes that she could have joined in the fun, too! While you were touring the University of Michigan, she was probably sweatin' on the ranch!
