Michigan

Last Tuesday night the Fourth grade team headed out for a PLC Conference in Michigan. I was excited because I've never been to Michigan before. Tuesday night we drove to Salt Lake and stayed the night there because our plane was leaving at 7:00 A.M. from Salt Lake. We spent the majority of that day either in an airport or on a plane. When we finally arrived in Detriot we rented a car and left with instructions on how to find our hotel "the big brown building we couldn't miss". Oh yeah we missed it and in the process of finding it we got honked at twice, I believe. That night we ate at a really nice Italian place that we paid out the butt for. The next day after class we decided to go for a little drive to find a place called Belle Island. This drive took us through downtown Detroit.


When we finally got to Belle Island and parked you could see Canada.
In this beautiful park there was lovely wildlife. Mary made a comment about a squirel and I said where and when I looked this is what I saw:For those of you unaware of what is strange about this picture let me ask you a question. What color are the squirels that you've seen? Me? Only tan and grey. This one is black. They all are black. CRAZY!!! Also in this park is this beautiful waterfall.
The Fourth grade team: (Me, Mary, Judy, Dorraine)
Mary insisted that Judy and I hug this tree for a picture stating that we would just love it, it was going to be our favorite picture from the trip. She was a riot!!
The highlight of my trip was that I was looking through a Detroit events magazine and I saw that Celine Dion was going to be in concert on Friday night. I asked the other ladies if they wanted to go and I called and to my delight there were still tickets on the very back row. So three of us went to Auburn Hills to the Celine Dion concert and she was AMAZING!!!
