Canada "AAY"

With Laura in town and Canada only being a hop, skip, and a jump away we decided to take an evening to see if the grass is greener on the other side.  From downtown Detroit you can either take a bridge or venture through a tunnel under the Detroit river to get into Windsor, Ontario.  We of course wanted to check out the tunnel...

The Tunnel was not as scary as I had imagined it to be.  We were through the tunnel pretty quickly and before we knew it we were looking back over the river at downtown Detroit...

Once we were in Canada, we really didn't know what to do. We really didn't have much of a plan and we really didn't know where anything was and the GPS was not knowledgeable of where we were.  With all those elements I decided to share with Laura that 19 is the legal age in Canada so we went to check out the local Casino.  Of course since Laura was "legal" she had to do the things that any 21 year old in the US would do...

I didn't bring my camera in the casino with us so sorry for the bad phone pictures.  Laura gambled for the first time and actually won enough money to pay for our dinner and coffee later.  We found a nice Irish pub for dinner.  After dinner we walked around and got some coffee and then were able to stroll along the river.  We enjoyed our time in Canada and only ran into a small problem when we tried to return to the United States.  Kevin so graciously allowed us to take the new car on our adventure so when we tried to re-enter the states we were stopped and questioned for registration on the car.  Sadly we had not had the car long enough to have it registered yet so we were stopped by customs for about 15 minutes while they questioned me on the vehicle and Laura on her job status and what she wants to do with her life (guess they weren't going to let her back in if she didn't show potential).  I suspect they were running the temporary tag through the DMV to make sure we did not steal the car.  Luckily we checked out and they let us back in the states!
