Yesterday, Niall and I started on our grand adventure.

First, we went to Holland, Michigan. Holland is famous for windmills and tulips. We spotted some windmills, but the tulips were not in bloom.

There was a cute downtown and a sweet community garden.

It's always nice to see the sunset on the beach. I love this side of Lake Michigan.

Niall had a great time taking photos.

 I was so excited for a campfire. I had the chance to make a delicious s'more, courtesy of dear friends of mine who gave me a camping care package.

Happy Birthday to Niall!

Today we are in Grand Rapids, currently camped out in Lantern Coffee Bar due to a bit of rain outside. There was a little public art enjoyment earlier.

We checked out Maya Lin's Ecliptic in the Rosa Parks Circle, Project X by Robert Morris at Belknap Park (pictured above), and Alexander Calder's La Grande Vitesse (pictured below).

Other noted things about Michigan: lots of roadside produce stands, black squirrels!, beautiful tall trees, American cars, and blueberry farms...
