Last week our family took the first of several short trips we hope to make this summer. This first adventure took us to the other side of the state. Grandpa and Grandma came along, so on Thursday, the "boys" went to the Henry Ford Museum to see all of the automotive, train, and "guy" stuff and the "girls" went shopping. It worked well for all of us.
On Friday we all went to Greenfield Village. The village offers something for everyone, including Henry Ford's first shop, Thomas Edison's shop, Orville and Wilbur Wright's childhood home and workshop, and many other homes and buildings reflective of important people and events in American history.
Again, the girls and boys ended up going our separate ways, and Katie and I focused our attention on an area of the village called Porches and Parlors. We tried on hats at the milliner's, looked at many of Noah Webster's publications in his house, and had a tea party at the three-hundred-year-old English cottage. The tea party was definitely a highlight. The pictures, as usual, are by Miss Katie.
