My cousin Sona graduated in June from high school and is on her way to U Penn this fall. Her family through an amazing graduation party, which we could not miss! The entire family was flying and driving into Detroit for the celebration. We got in nice and late on Friday and enjoyed our drive in the Michigan with their strange U-turns. If you haven't experienced driving in Michigan, most of their signal lights do not have a left turn, so to make a left, you have to pass your street, and make this weird 2 step u-turn. We saw these everywhere, and it definitely makes giving directions here a twist
Saturday most of the family had arrived. Alby and I took a short drive around to see the neighborhood, and saw a White Castle :) Since neither of us had been before, we decided it was a must for us to try out! Those tiny little sliders were definitely good, but in no way would I choose one of those over a In-n-Out burger!
That night while the parents and my niece, Sonia, enjoyed a music party, all the cousins played cards. The guys all stared a poker game, which they let my cousin Charlene join in. And I must say she does know how to play those guys, she is an aggressive poker player ;)
After she beat them all in Texas Hold'em we decided to go for a 'safer' game of spoons, which in our case was forks :) The combination of drinks, tiredness, and sharp forks probably wasn't the best idea, but we all still had a great time.
Sunday was the day of the party, and what a party it was! After seeing Sona's Graduation party, I'm definitely anxious to see how her wedding will be. Smita Mami and Vraj Mama planned an absolutely beautiful party with all the details just great! We had a great time and were sad to leave the next morning :(
