Firsts

Our trip to see grandmum and granddad was a trip of firsts, and for most "firsts" I did not capture images.

Yes, this is the assembly of Model T

 

many firsts were punctuated by WWII, I would say six degrees of Kevin Bacon, but more like one degree

Thomas Edison, Menlo Park office, rebuilt in Greenfield Village, MI. This building also reconstructed in Wright Dunbar, Dayton, OH, where my parents live.

 

The Wright Bros. home, moved from right around the corner from where my parents live. A reconstruction is across the street.

My mom got an extra special tour of the upstairs.

 

Have I given the spiel about how Orville's 38 minute flight at Huffman Prairie in OHIO is what made flight viable?

Granddad and Abby spent days doing this puzzle, mainly granddad!

A plethora or Ohio bricks in the neighborhood too!

Abby's half-brother Shawen Jr.
