a good birthday

Yesterday Dan took the day off of work, so we could be together on my birthday. The day started out with a few errands, then we drove to Dearborn in a pouring rain to visit the Henry Ford Museum.

We saw all sorts of very cool things there. While the classic car collection is huge, there are also a lot of very interesting historical things to see. We even got to sit in the Rosa Parks protest bus! Some of the other highlights included a life face mask and hand of Lincoln (the man might not have had a particularly attractive face, but he had beautiful hands!!), the chair Lincoln was sitting in when he was shot, the car Kennedy was riding in when he was shot, and George Washington's mess kit and folding cot that he used at encampments during the Revolution.

We ate lunch at the museum - and the food in the cafe was actually good.

Steven had his wrestling training at UM, so Dan and I went to our favorite Chinese restaurant in Ann Arbor while Steven was at Chrysler Arena. We had our first date at that restaurant way back in the spring of 1983. The food is still great there!

After dinner, we picked up Steven and then came home and had cake and ice cream.

Today I went back to work. I was grouchy and it sucked.
