June
8 – It was mostly a crappy day! Once we
had breakfast and Bill was doing the outside jobs, the poop hose came loose and
he had a stinky mess out there. I could
smell it inside and I was thankful it wasn’t my job to deal with! See why I said “crappy”?

| Downtown Windsor |
The
incident caused us to leave late for our drive to Windsor.
Second crappy thing! Traffic was
not as bad as when we were driving from Windsor
and our campground was nice. The spaces
were short for big rigs and only had 30 AMP.
We were fine for the night. We
had lunch and rested a while before showering and heading into the US.
Bill
wanted to go through the tunnel instead of the bridge so
 |
| Tunnel back up |
he asked the lady at
check in how to do that and either he wrote it down wrong or she told him wrong
but after a few miles in what we decided was the wrong direction, (crappy) I
checked a map and we eventually got to the tunnel entrance. We got backed up in the tunnel and came to a
dead stop. (crappy) I was not excited
over this. Finally we started moving and
had our turn at the border crossing.
Bill got into a conversation with the young man and found he went to
University HS and played baseball for Bill’s friend Rodney. It’s a small world!

| Comerica Park |
 |
| In the big boy chair |
Due
to road closures we had a lot of issues getting where we thought we wanted to
be. We were trying to get to the island of Grosse Ile in search of 2
lighthouses. We got there and the
historical society was closed and had no information posted on the light
houses.(more crappy) We Googled and
drove to where he thought one should be (the other was too far out in the water
to see from the island), but no lighthouse.
Bill was getting antsy as he didn’t want to be stuck in a lot of traffic
getting to the baseball game, so we gave it up and left the island. (where we had to pay both ways to use the
bridge)

| Nice ride.... |

Ambassador bridge at
night |
Traffic
was bad and a bit on the frantic side heading back into downtown. Luckily we had purchased parking when we
ordered our tickets to see the Indians play the Tigers. (not crappy) We zipped
right in to the lot which was only a block from Comerica Field. For a Friday night game there were not nearly
as many fans as we expected. We had good
seats on the 3rd base side, lower level. We had time before the game to check out some
fun things at the stadium, like a ride on the Tiger Carousel! We got our dinner and ate it at a nice courtyard
area instead of in our seats. The game
was great, well it’s always great when your team wins. Leaving the stadium was quick and painless
and we crossed back into Canada
via the Ambassador
Bridge. The ride home was eventless, so I guess our
day wasn’t so crappy after all!
