Today, we visited the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit where we were able to tour the Rouge Factory (where F-150s are now made.) It's a pretty high-tech factory and very environmentally friendly. They even have a living roof (a lawn on the roof lowers the temperature inside and filters out pollutants.) 
Evan was fascinated by the green building techniques. We also rushed through the Henry Ford exhibition hall where they have things like the Rosa Parks bus, the limo JFK was assasinated in, and the rocking chair Lincoln sat in at Ford's theater.
After our whirlwind visit, we drove across the border to Canada and up to Niagara Falls. Once there, we drove down to see the falls. We had a nice dinner at a Japanese restaurant and

After our whirlwind visit, we drove across the border to Canada and up to Niagara Falls. Once there, we drove down to see the falls. We had a nice dinner at a Japanese restaurant and watched a tight rope walker cross a thin wire overlooking the falls. We also watched an IMAX movie about adventurers who have gone over the falls in barrels, tubs, etc and saw a display of these contraptions.
