One of the things Matt wanted to do was to go down to the new stadium built for the Detroit Tigers,
Comerica Park. He had seen on the news, the Tiger statue out front wearing a Detroit Red Wings
Jersey, in support of the Red Wings who may be going to the Stanley Cup
Playoff's. So, when we got to mom & dad's on 28 May 08, we got the directions from dad and we set off with mom being the navigator. REMEMBER: if you want to see the picture bigger, click on the picture,
Waiting on mom. Dad didn't go as he & Vicki were going to do the
yard work. Also, this is the view of the front of their house with the new bushes.
Rachel waiting patiently by Matt's truck for everyone to get loaded up. Loaded as in "get in the truck".....
Rachel straps in for the trip to downtown Detroit.
Dad by mom's truck looking for a yard implement..
Mom heading to the truck so we can start our trek North to Detroit.
Coming into Detroit, we passed by the Ambassador Bridge. This is the bridge to Canada. There is also a tunnel under the Detroit River if you prefer to go under rather than over.
Another view of the Ambassador Bridge.
The front of
Comerica Park, home to the Detroit Tigers. You can see mom taking a picture of Matt & Rachel sitting under the Tiger with the aforementioned Red Wing
Jersey on.
Some of the BIG stone Tigers & Bat

Rachel stands alone amongst the Tigers. Matt sits while mom takes his picture.
Mom, Matt & Rachel stroll around the stadium.
Mom, Rachel & Matt approach the Tiger..The area Catholic schools were having
playoff's on the field inside the stadium, so there were a couple of thousand kids & parents out & about.
This is a picture of Ernie Harwell, the voice of the Detroit Tigers for over 40 years. Mom says he is in his 90's now & they still let him call a couple of innings. I grew up listening to him call the games on radio & television.
A different view of the stone Tigers & Bats.
Matt sitting under the Tiger, while Rachel (lower left corner) takes a picture of the Tigers above.
A view of some of the skyline of Detroit Michigan. That round building next to the Tiger banner, is the GM Building.
Me & Mom in front of
Comerica Park.

Another view of the front of
Comerica Park. Mom, Matt &
Rachel are grouped together in front of the Tiger.

Comerica Park.
The Tiger, at last, stands alone. Figures everyone would leave the area when we walked away. Murphy's law at work.
As we headed to
Wyandotte & the river, we passed the old Tiger Stadium where we went to Tiger games when I was a kid.
We also passed Ford Motor Company's World
HQ's in
Dearborn Michigan..This is where my dad worked as an engineer until he retired.
Another view of
FoMoCo's World
