After a swim in the hotel pool, we started out the day in Lansing with a rainy (and therefore, solo), run up some state capitol building steps!
Lansing, MI
B's 33rd set of state capitol steps scaled...

From Lansing, we headed over to Dearborn, MI (right outside Detroit) to spend some time at The Henry Ford...
Wow! We could've spend days upon days in here exploring... What a collection!
Among a ton of other things, we saw...
the chair that President Abraham Lincoln was sitting in when he was assassinated at Ford's Theatre...
the car that President John F. Kennedy was riding in when he was assassinated...
the Wright Brothers' first aircraft...
and the actual bus on which a brave lady named Rosa Parks made history...
We can't wait to come back and visit again one day. There was so much to see in the museum alone that we didn't even make it outside to the Greenfield Village portion of the museum!
On the way out of town, we stopped at the apartment complex where President George H. W. Bush and his wife, Barbara, once lived many years ago...
and on down the road at the grave of Vice President Schuyler Colfax...
Schuyler Colfax served as the 17th Vice President of the United States under President Ulysses S. Grant.

Tomorrow we make our way home...with a few little stops along the way, of course!
