Our latest adventures!
Our granddaughter, who is an amazing baker, made Dale and I some delicious treats to take on our trip to South Dakota and Michigan last summer. We thought it would be fun to save one of her Blondies and photograph it in many of the places we visited. For Christmas...
One of the great things about Dale’s employer is that they observe most federal holidays, so he had yesterday off for MLK day! We decided to take advantage of the time and nice weather to go west about an hour to Inks Lake State Park. We’ve been to this park...
The first Saturday morning of January was a good day to go on a short road trip. We weren’t interested in our normal activities around town, especially with so many post-Christmas shoppers and back-to-school preppers. So we headed toward a town that my friend Cheryl took me too last year....
We first celebrated our anniversary in Fredericksburg, Texas in 2002 for our ninth anniversary. Over the years we have spent many anniversaries in or around Fredericksburg, and we’ve enjoyed every one. So when Dale whisked me off to Fredericksburg for our 32nd anniversary, I was extremely happy about it. Dale...
We pulled into our driveway at noon this past Sunday after traveling a total of 6,000 miles in two months! It was good to be home. We pulled out of our Michigan Airbnb one week ago today, heading to the Ark Encounter in Kentucky. We arrived close to 3pm, but...
Yes, the shoreline of a lake can be called a beach. Dale and I actually had this discussion on the way home from Holland State Park on Lake Michigan last Sunday. The defining characteristic of a beach is the “accumulation of loose particles like sand or pebbles at the edge...
Every home in the Heritage Hill District of Grand Rapids has a history and the Meyer May home, which is just a couple of blocks from where we are staying, has a very interesting one. We came across it as we were taking a walk one morning. I told Dale...
I guess staying in a 155-year-old home in a historic neighborhood wasn’t enough, so we traveled about a half hour east to a spot in the woods where the whole village is historic! Fallasburg Festival was our main event for our first Saturday in Grand Rapids. Fallasburg is a historic...
If that headline makes you say, “what in the heck?”, I would like to say that my description of our experience may still leave you with questions. I know I still have some. During my area research I came across the Grand Rapids Amateur Astronomical Association and the James Veen...
There are so many charming lakeside towns along Michigan’s coast and Saugatuck is definitely one of them. Unfortunately everyone agrees with me and was in town the day we visited! Ha! We headed to Saugatuck, which is about 45 minutes from Grand Rapids, on a Sunday after church. After trolling...
