24 August - Leaving Michigan

So the last day in Michigan has arrived. What happened to the second week? It must have been on speed because it just flew past. We have so much fun and even though we have only been with Mark, Valerie, Alan & Kim for 14 days it feels like we have known each other for ever and ever. It has been interesting to find out that the American wing of the family have the same sense of humor as the Swedish (and Mark and Kim via association with the Hellstrom family).
We will miss being with them.

Grant and I have already decided that we will try to come again. We are hoping that they would want us to do so....

Well then it was time to say goodbye, and up until then we had managed to keep things together (at least on the surface), and it got quite emotional. So grant and I sort of just took off after we had said farewell.

We needed a coffee after that to compose ourselves. 

The flight was about 15 minutes late so when we arrived in Detroit it was off the plane and straight onto the next. And to our surprise, you had to pay if you wanted something to eat!!! On a flight lasting 4 1/2 hours! Unbelievable!!! AND if you wanted to watch a movie you had to pay for that as well. Not impressed... Ok, that will be the only rant (and complaint) for this trip. I feel so much better now.

So I watched Black(ish) instead and I really enjoyed that. I even giggled a couple of times.

All our bags made it to San Fransisco with us (Yippee) and we found the shuttle and we are now at the Hotel.

Tomorrow we will probably go down to the Fishermans Wharf and spend the day there. Photos will be taken.....

What a great family
And this is with the 2 extra members
