NAIAS - Auto Show

In what has become an annual tradition in our house, we made our trek to the North American International Auto Show on Saturday, January 16th. Although we would have preferred not to go on opening day, neither Tyler nor Samantha had a basketball game scheduled for this weekend (they both play next Saturday, plus we have Drew's birthday party that afternoon - we also didn't want to go on the final day, Sunday, which would have been our other choice). I don't know if it's just me or not, but I didn't really enjoy the show as much this year as I have in some of my past visits. It was a better show than last year, however.

The kids seemed to have fun, climbing in and out of as many cars as they could. The auto show is kind of like one of those clown cars, except instead of how many people can climb out of one car, for the kids it is how many cars can one person climb in... They had fun doing that, so I guess I cannot complain too loudly.
