To Detroit. We just wanted to go to the sculpture park in Windsor and say “we’ve been to Canada!”

It never occurred to me how odd that looked. We were stopped at the border, car searched, asked about weapons, and my husband called at home because I was crossing the border with 2 minors and not In possession of a letter from indicating his understanding of our crossing.

Astonishingly, they let us in.
