Michigan Vacation

From June 7 to June 19, Lyle, Wade and I ventured back to Michigan and had a great time seeing Lighthouses, Car shows, Detroit Tiger Baseball games, and lots of family. Enjoy the photo tour....

Wade watches this Hardcore Pawn show, and it is in Detroit, so we went and browsed about it, and Wade got to meet the owner.
