January 13,2017- NAIAS Charity Preview

For those living in the Detroit area it's also known as The Auto Prom, but we look forwRd to it every year. This year we're spending the night at the Marriott in the Renaissance Center. We have a great view from our room. 

 

 

 

It's a big night for Adient, and there's lot of publicity for the new company all over town!  

 

 

The picture isn't that good with the back light, but here we are, ready to go. 

 

 

 

Once at Cobo, the fun began. Enjoy the pictures!

Nita and I got our picture with Bill Ford!

 

 

 

After the show on the floor, we went back upstairs to the Adient booth for dinner, drinks and dancing. At around 11:00 we went to MGM to play black jack with Brian Grady. We also ended up hanging out with Jennifer and Bret Johnson until 2:45 a.m.!

 

We shared a cab back to our hotel. 

The nighttime view wasn't bad. 

 

 

Part of our Black Tie tradition has become eating breakfast out somewhere downtown. Our usual place was closed for vacation, so we ended up at the Parks and Rec. Diner. 

 

 

This cinnamon roll was amazing!!!

 

We had an absolute blast, as always.
