And Back to Michigan

And then we went back to Michigan. But stopping in a couple of places.



-The Springfield Armory Organ. Yes, made of rifles. Stopped here because it is a national historic site, but mostly because this is the place that (Springfield, MA...also the home of Dr. Seuss!) made 45-70 Springfield rifles and Krag-Jorgensens, both having been and being used at Fort Mackinac.










-Still have some buildings, but most of the complex has been turned into a college campus.





-We missed out in visiting Seneca Falls, NY for the Women's Rights Memorial, but we were close enough to stop by Niagara Falls for a bit the next morning.

Horseshoe Falls.








-American Falls















-Mary and all the falls (from the Canadian side).






-A close up of the American Falls.
















Then it was a quick drive through Canada (and stopping in Sarnia for fruit bars and cookies) and back to Michigan.

Don't show that armory picture to Ben! He has at least that many rifles under his bed!
