New Year's Day Trip to Henry Ford Museum

On this rather snowy New Year's Day, the family went to Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI. We have heard rather good reviews about the quality of the exhibits and we have been wanting to visit for some time. So taking the opportunity of the holiday and that everyone will be at the Hockey game in Ann Arbor, we went to the museum where the crowd was visibly thin.
The main draw of the museum was the automative exhibition as many of Henry Ford's innovation were there, not surprisingly. However, there are also other interesting artifacts relevant to American history, e.g. Rosa Park's bus, the chair in which Abe Lincoln was assassinated, JFK's car.
The museum was not huge but with three kids in tow, we could only complete the automative and the flight section of the museum. We will definitely go there again to see the rest of the exhibits and the adjoining Greenfield Village, especially since we have bought the Family Annual Pass.

Dearborn has a large Arab American community, so naturally we had Middle Eastern food for dinner. We found this place called Hamido's which served very good hummus, falafel, schwarmma and kebab at very good price. Worthy of a second visit.
