Michigan trip
May. 10th, 2017 11:22 pmCindy wanted to visit her Aunt Joyce. Joyce lives in Holland Michigan, so Cyn decided that she go for the Tulip Time festival, which coincided with her birthday.
We arrived late Friday night, and stopped by New Holland Brewing, the home of our favorite beer, Dragon's Milk.
Saturday morning, we met Aunt Joyce plus her daughter Pam, and two other cousins, Bonnie and Carla. We went out for breakfast, then went to the festival. The first event was the Klomepenstompers, er, Klompen dancers. The Dutch dancing with the wooden shoes. They had a couple hundred high school girls in costume (as both boys and girls). Then we walked around the art fair for a while. I picked up a tulip welded of silverware. After a while, Joyce was not feeling well and asked to go home. On our way back to the car, we took a detour to New Holland for a tasting flight of four different versions of Dragon's Milk.
After a rest, the cousins and I went out to another park to view more tulips. Then dinner where I had an odd burger. It was topped with onion rings, cheddar, maple/bacon sauce and served open-faced on a waffle. The very sweet waffle, and maple sauce didn't go well with the cheese or onion.
The next morning we met for breakfast again, and then split up. Cyn and I stopped at South Haven and walked out on the pier. It was sunny but about 45 degrees and very windy. Painful. Then we went on to Three Oaks, where stopped at Journeyman Distillery for lunch in their Staymaker restaurant.
