Meet Kelly and Samer. He’s a member of the Detroit Pistons flight crew and she’s a pre-med student. Together they make the most charming couple and we had a great time exploring the grounds of the Meadowbrook Mansion today.

I’ll begin with the last shot of the day. It’s my absolute favorite.

As I write my son (the boy taller than me in the Picture below) is currently over the Atlantic Ocean traveling to Rome to begin a journey as a People to People Ambassador. This moment makes me very proud as a father and very scared as a parent. In one hand he has earned the right to go on this fabulous trip and represent our country. On the other hand I am freaking out that he will be gone for 17 days in other countries. Don’t worry, he brought a camera with him and I expect to receive some great photographs from his experience. It’s a tough day for us at home and I wish him a very safe trip.
