To be honest, it's always nice to be able to go back to the Midwest. Three weeks in a row however, the Midwest sort of wears on you.
However Michigan has a special place in my heart, So if I can go on a work trip, I'm gonna take it. I was covering the week for my colleague D. I did the same week last year. One of the best parts of my job, is getting to go to places that I wouldn't normally go in my real life. As I've written in post past, I have this affinity for Presidential Museums. The weeks events were going to be in Grand Rapids… Home of the Gerald Ford Museum. When I signed up for the week last year, I had every intention Of going to the museum. However the government got in the way. It ended up being the same week as the federal shutdown.
Are you kidding me? I rarely get annoyed with the government. However this was just ridiculous. (I'm only been somewhat sarcastic.)
So when the week was up for grabs this year, I knew I had to have it. I was determined to get to that museum.
And I'm happy to report, that I did. And the best part of it, is that the day that I went to the museum Admission was free!
It's like the political universe was making up for last year. I can finally put Obama back in my good graces.
The other great reason to go back to Michigan, was getting to see my godmothers. They were nice enough to come visit me at the airport before I flew out. We had dinner together and hung out for a few hours. I don't see them often so it was great to be able to meet up with them and I'm so lucky that they came down to meet me.
All in all, another great week.
State count: 14.
