Today we visited the Michigan State Fair. This fair - at the corner of Woodward and 8 Mile in Detroit - should not be confused with the UP State Fair in Escanaba. It is, in fact, smaller and less impressive than its counterpart to the north. No tractors, no 4-H barn, and no discernible midway really made the lower peninsula version of the State Fair a bit of a letdown. To compensate Jenelle and I went to Royal Oak for some window shopping and to scout out the travel section and Barnes & Noble for honeymoon ideas.
