Saturday July 9, 2011-Addison Oaks County park

We got up on our last full day here at the county park to more cool weather. We had agreed to meet Ted and Donna in Rochester for breakfast at the Gold Star Family Restaurant. We had plenty of good food here and when we left, Donna went to get her hair done, Ted went to shoot skeet and Stella and I decided to go to the Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills.

Below you will see some of the photos that I took at the museum.

The grand entrance to the museum at One Chrysler Rd. in Auburn Hills Michigan.

One of the original Dodge Chargers was parked out front. It appears that this vehicle originally came from Texas and is now being used as a daily driver here now. The car is not restored but is in pretty good condition.

A short history of Walter Chrysler's company.

After finishing up at the Chrysler museum, Stella and I returned home to rest for awhile. We later met Ted and Donna and their daughter Kara and her family at a restaurant called Miguel's. They served very good mexican food that we all enjoyed very much. We haven't had good mexican food since we left Texas in May, and were glad to find this place.

After finishing up our meal and after hugs and handshakes were exchanged, we left Ted and Donna and their family to go back home. We stopped off at the Valero station near the park and got fuel. I carefully checked the big tank for leaks and found none. We are now all fueled up and ready to go to our next destination tomorrow. We'll have to wait and see what kind of new adventures tomorrow and the rest of our time in Michigan will bring.

So long.
