The days may all be a blur, but we can still get excited for the weekend. After a long week at home, spend time outside and take in some fresh air. And if you need some inspiration for things to do with your kids, here are 10 things you CAN do this weekend.

It’s premiere weekend for the Monroe Street Drive-In downtown! Get your tickets for this weekend and take time to explore the city –there’s lots to do!

When you’re in Detroit don’t skip the African Bead Museum – there’s a selection of jewelry from across the continent, beads for DIY and outdoor art installations for any time.
