A Field Trip

Yesterday Mom and I took Noah to the GM plant in Arlington where they make Suburbans, Tahoes, and many other GM vehicles. The plant has an open house this week only and is giving tours and allowing test drives. We met my friend Kelly, her mom, and her two kids, Caleb and Levi. We stood in a really long line to get in...

and more lines while we looked at cars and the history of the plant...

until finally we got to ride a tram that took us on a 20-minute tour of the floor. We got to see the assembly line where they make the cars (something like 1100 a day!) and even saw a few of the robots.

 After the tram ride, Noah got to sit in Dale Earnhart Jr's race car from a couple of years ago. They also had a pace car and some other GM vehicles there. All in all, I think Noah had a great time!
