Detroit Rock City

This weekend, the 5th year crew (Dan, Chongai, Masano, Eric, Janice, Greg, Christine, and I) packed our bags and made a whirlwind trip to Detroit, Michigan for John and Yongling (Jenny) Gorke’s wedding! We few out Saturday morning, grabbed a rental car, and got to Auburn Hills, MI just in time to get changed and head to the wedding.  The wedding was outside at the Cranbook House and Gardens and was absolutely gorgeous.  The reception was at a hotel and was a cool mix between American and Chinese traditions.  By time it was over, the only people left were the DJ, John’s dad, and us.  Yes.  Back to the hotel for more fun and games.

After a leisurely Sunday morning at the hotel, we headed to downtown Detroit for some exploration.  Found some parts of Detroit that looked like it was falling apart.  Other parts looked in better shape.  Walked around a bunch, found some geocaches, got tired, then finally ate some tasty Greek food.  Good times were had by all.
