A few of Eric's buddies from the Chapel Hill Fire Department visited us for a few days this week. We had a great time and crammed a lot into just a few days. We took in a Tigers baseball game against the Twins - it was a beautiful night, the Tigers won and we got to see Verlander pitch a great game.
On Wednesday, we took in the Def Leppard concert - the whole reason for the guys' trip to MI. The concert was awesome - they played a lot of their old 80's songs (think "Pour Some Sugar On Me"). There was some great people watching and a lot of air guitar was played by all. Below is a video I took with my phone (hence the poor quality) of the one-armmed drummer...he's amazing.
On the guys' last full day in town, we took them to CJ Barrymore's - a great place with multiple go kart tracks, miniature golf, bowling, etc. The guys had a great time racing go karts - they were pretty competitive and of course a few bets were placed. The last race, they even tipped the track attendant $15 for getting them into the 3 fastest karts so they could have an even race. We bowled a few games - and I'm happy to say that I did not come in last place either time. :-) The guys also got hooked on a game where you try to align a pair of scissors on a string in order to cut the string and win either an iPad, iTouch, or DS3 - needless to say, they spent enough money trying to win the iPad to almost buy one themselves...and despite coming close a few times, they did not succeed.
