We took a mental health day today.
Terry took a day off from work (his first in I think 5 years),
and we went out and about.
First we stopped at my dad's grave, and cleaned it up.
Looks like they did some major trimming
of the old Oak tree he rests under.
Then we decided to head out to Belle Isle.
We haven't been there since the state took over control,
and we wanted to see if it was more inviting...
It was definitely more inviting, and it was devoid of people.
I thought you had to pay to get onto the island (NO, we didn't).
We roamed freely, and drove around and around the whole island.
The only problem was that the attractions we wanted to visit were all closed.
The Dossin Great Lakes Museum was closed, and the Aquarium was closed...
The only thing open was the Plant Conservatory,
which we thoroughly enjoyed wandering through.
Amazing collection of plants, trees, and flowers.
Then we headed over to Eastern Market,
where we got completely lost in an old antique store.
We could have stayed there all day, except we got real hungry...
So we slipped into the Farmer's Restaurant and had a BLT with fries.
We ended the afternoon at Elmwood Cemetery,
where we have been before,
but just seem to be drawn here,
to visit the graves of my Great-Great Grandparents graves.
These two are a mystery unsolved in my family genealogy research,
and so we keep trying to search for more information about them...
It was a wonderful day, spent with my honey, out and about in Detroit.
