We live 40 minutes from Detroit, the Motor City. The majority of the people in our ward work in the auto industry, most of them with Ford, like Jason.
The Detroit Auto Show is each year in January. It was the original one and people still travel from faraway places to come to ours here. Jason has been a few times and took Victoria one time a while ago. This year, we all went.
We had an early dinner beforehand to get there when everyone else would be leaving for dinner. Jason knows how to work the crowds! We went to Buddy's Pizza to get the original Detroit style pizza. It's deep dish, like Chicago's, but not as deep. I had planned on Erik not eating much, as usual, so I brought a bunch of snacks. Well, let's just say that we'll be going to Buddy's more often! He didn't eat pizza, of course, but he sure loved the bread sticks! Theirs is similar to Little Cesar's, but taste more fresh and are maybe twice as thick. Erik had four of them! Plus, at the restaurant they give dum-dum lollipops as you leave, so Erik (and the other kids) were super happy!
Since he ate so well, Erik was able to last the whole two hours we were at the auto show without having any meltdowns and I didn't have to give him any snacks! The kids loved checking out all the cars. Austin really wanted to see all the F150s, thought at the end of the night, both he and Erik said they loved every single car the most. Victoria loved the GT the most, and Karissa loved the VW Bug!
