Canterbury Village
Well I wasn't given an assignment but I thought of something while I was trying to fall asleep last night. Brandon and Melanie have been to Canterbury Village (actually thats where he proposed) and they said it was a lot of fun. It's by the Palace of Auburn Hills so it's not too far. I can ask Brandon more about it if anyone is interested. You can also go to www.canterburyvillage.com for more information.
Here is some info. from the website:

I like this idea, I was trying to think of its name yesterday, but I drew a blank. I've never been there. I still think Michigan Adventure would be fun!
