More Birthday in the D

[L to R: What, Me, Rachel, Michelle, Dave Niff, and Josh
on the people mover in downtown Detroit]

Ok, so last Saturday after the Clothing Closest, a few friends from the college age group took me and What out for a belated birthday celebration. We hit up a little El Charro's for lunch before hopping in Dave's SUV to head down to D-town. We spend the better part of the afternoon/early evening walking around and checking out many of the sites I hadn't been able to see yet. Rachel brought her camera and we/she took a boat load of pictures. Here are a few for you all to see:

[One of the tigers (with a coat on because it's winter) outside of Comerica Park. He, the tiger, wanted to eat What for dinner. ]

[Comerica Park...and us jumping off the ledge.]

[The location of the Final Four...and if UNC beats UCONN
in the finals, I officially win the church staff bracket contest.
Actually, I think I still win even if UNC loses.]

[This gentleman was kind enough to let me share his newspaper.]

["The Spirit of Detroit" sculpture ... as seen on Sportcenter
this morning. Interestingly enough, the wall behind the
sculpture quotes a verse from the Bible and in the "guy's"
right hand are three people depicting a family (husband, wife, and child). How long till this is considered intolerant?

[Were we to start a band...or become thugs...or try and be
cool doing nothing, this would be a great promo shot.]

The day turned out to be a lot of fun. Thanks, friends, for taking me on the excursion.
