This wasn't the most exciting weekend ever, but we still had a good time. We went shopping on Saturday and watched the movie Castaway later that evening. After the movie we decided being stranded on an island would be cool, but only for about a month. And with a few ammenities like a knife and a tent...

Today we slept in (till 8 mind you) and tried out a yoga tape we checked out from the library. Well, the tape was a bit advanced (headstands are a bit out of our league) so we scrapped that and went down to the XXX Rootbeer's 55-57 Chevy car show. There were a lot of cars but nothing compares to the Woodward Dream Cruise going on in Detroit this weekend, where hundreds of thousands of people bring out their classic cars and have a huge party. My dad and I went to the very first Dream Cruise in his '78 Mustang, back before it was a huge event. I guess it's gotten a lot bigger- I think there were over a million people there last year. For you non-Michiganders, Woodward Avenue was a popular place for kids to cruise and drag race back in the 60's and 70's.

In keeping with the 50's theme we had lunch at the BurgerMaster drive-in off the 520. The joint was packed- we didn't get our usual spot underneath the awning today. When the waitress came up I kind of chuckled- she was using a wireless palm pilot-type gadget to take our order. So much for an authentic 50's atmosphere!

Later in the afternoon we hiked up to Poo Poo point so Eric could see the paragliders take off. It was getting late in the day and we really moved fast to get up there before sunset. Eric really wants to do a tandem flight now which is fine as long as I don't have to go too. Heights are OK, but not when strapped to glorified kite.

Now onto another workweek...
