Midwest Excursion Part 2: Woodward Dreamcruise

The Dreamcruise was everything I imagined. Crazy beautiful old cars parked or driving up and down Woodward Ave in Detroit, the Motor City. We took the '56 down to Ferndale and cruised from about 9 Mile all the way to Pontiac, a stretch of about 15 miles. My neck was killin me looking this way and that checking out all the amazing rides. It was a full day of cruisin the strip and it was totally worth it

On our way!

Christine, of course, matched the car perfectly...

Chillin' with the Chevy Club

Bumped in to Jen and Brian ( friends from Providence,RI) at 13 mile !

The Midwest Excursion:Part 1

In a nutshell: On August 17th, C (and the baby) and I got on a plane and flew to Detroit for the Woodward Dream Cruise and then a shower at her parents place. Then we hit the road and went to a Cleveland for a few days before heading back to Portland. It was a fantastic trip visiting with family and catching up with old friends. The weather was great and we got to cruise in the '56 Chevy Bel Air, which was quite the treat!
