Spartan Pride Lives On - Even In Enemy Territory

Well, pigs can officially fly. Mom and I managed to get Dad to visit Ann Arbor, MI today - or as Dad calls it, "enemy territory." Since Dad prides himself as a Michigan State Spartan, he was very upset when he learned he was going to be surrounded by his nemesis, the UofM Wolverines. Dad even wore the color green today so he could sport his "Big Green Pride." Sigh...

We met up with Dad's side of the family today for lunch, hence why we headed to MI. The restaurant was converted from an old train depot. It was pretty neat inside since I hadn't been to a restaurant like that before.

Here is the family - we had a great time!

After lunch we went to downtown Ann Arbor and shopped around. I did have to show this picture because it was too funny for poor Dad. Notice which shirt is further marked down... ;)

Needless to say, Dad was heart broken.
