We went out to a local restaurant for a delicious breakfast and had so much fun to start the day. We are blown away by the cutting edge work Chris and Gina are doing for General motors. Chris showed us how the trucks he and Gina drove and are testing for GM operate semi-autonomously, breaking and accelerating based on radar which monitors nearby traffic. It was really interesting to learn about their work as automotive engineers.
We came back to their house and visited before helping Chris take care of part of a tree that fell in a bad storm on Thursday. We played ladderball and sat outside and reminisced and laughed.
In the evening we went to an apple orchard and then had dinner at Kura Revolving Suchi Bar in Novi. Janice and I have never experienced anything like it. The sushi is delivered via a conveyor belt that winds around the restaurant. A large selection of sushi items are available. When you are done with one sushi item you put your plate down a little opening and it tallies your items as you go. By the time we were done we had about 40 different items! Drinks are delivered by a robot.
Elizabeth (12) and Lucas (9) are very bright and affable kids. We had so much fun with them and are glad they wanted to be with us. We are very proud they affectionately call us Aunt Janice and Uncle Kasey and want to give us hugs and hold our hands. They couldn't be sweeter.
We made many special memories with the Reid Parodi Family and look forward to making more together in the future. Tomorrow morning we will leave to continue our trek to New York.
