Storms were in the forecast for Dearborn, MI, however we only ran into a few drops of rain. Today we went to the Henry Ford Museum to tour the Ford Rouge F-150 Pick-Up Truck Plant. Funny thing is George was given the Senior Discount and I wasn't. The tour cost us $30. and it is was a pretty amazing presentation before the actual plant tour. Previously we had toured the Corvette Assembly Plan in Bowling Green, KY which was more of a hands on assembly whereas this plant has a lot more automation. It was cool to see the robotic arms glue in both the moon roofs and the front and back windshields. All of the pick-up truck built at this plant are aluminum. It might have been my imagination but the colors on the trucks really seemed to pop. Afterward we set the GPS for home. We drove out of the parking lot and headed for home. Funny thing is the first night of our trip we stayed on the Ohio turnpike and it began to storm. Tonight we are staying in the turnpike at mile marker 197 at the Travel Plaza named Brady's Leap. The storms from earlier in a the day caught up to us.
