Trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan
Monday Dd and Dh went to Bloomington to support Giz as she got her knee replaced. That sounds weird--'knee replaced'??!!! It went well and the whole family; except me and my mother were there. I stayed at home to have one last day alone with my mother before she headed back to Maine on Tuesday.
Tuesday we took Dd to the Greene's house for the morning while Dh and I took my mother to the airport. We went to the airport hours early and got all settled in our station plenty early so we would be sure to avoid the rushing and crowds.
Wednesday we drove to Holland, MI. and enjoyed seeing this cool town. Then we drove on to our final destination--Grand Rapids. We picked a hotel that allowed our dog, Sophie to come along with us! So great to have our Sophie with us and not to have to worry about how she was doing.
Michigan was simply BEAUTIFUL! I really thought it was gorgeous! Lots of trees and big woods. Way more land than people; which is really lovely!
Thursday we toured this and that --- and then went to Smokey Bones Resturant to celebrate Dh and my 15th year of being married.
Friday we went to Kirt Park, which is on Lake Michigan---wow, was it great!!!! http://www.holland.org/listings/Kirk-Park/234/
Dd was looking for little rocks on the shore and having a great time getting her feet wet. Then a woman came with her lab and asked if her dog and our dog could play. They played catch with a tennis ball; running into the waves and swimming after the ball together. Then the next thing you know Dd is also in the water! It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so cold in the water and outside as well. But, Dd did find lots of little pebbles in the water--well, about 10-15 of them. Then we headed back home; and arrived after 9pm! What a week.
Sat. we unpacked and Sunday we got back in the van and headed to southern Indiana to visit Giz who requested a visit. We brought her down two roasts and a tomato dish. She didn't like the tomato dish; but she loved the roast! Hopefully the roast will last her a few days.
