Henry Ford Museum

I was planning on doing this blog yesterday but it was so late when I got the pictures downloaded I decided to wait til I got home today. Well, that didn't turn out to be. We had a bit of car problem. The ABS light came on and Buddy said the car was steering wrong. Around Cincinnati he wanted me to start looking for a auto repair store. Found a Chevrolet dealer just below Cincinnati and thank goodness for that. He was barely able to steer it in when we got there. Waited at dealership for over 3 hours and they came and told us one of the parts wouldn't be in until tomorrow. So here we are one day longer than we had planned. The boys were anxious to get home, but they have been troopers through the whole ordeal. Yesterday was our big day at Henry Ford Museum.

There are a lot more pictures, but couldn't put them all on here. So even through the car problems, all I can say is I'm so thankful it happened near a big city. Most of the roads we have been on have gone through small towns.
