I started my day with a 3 mile walk along the Grand River boardwalk to the Grand Haven beach and lighthouse. It was another gorgeous day and lots of people out enjoying the very nice boardwalk area.
Then downtown for some window shopping and enjoying the sculptures.
Wonder if she said yes?
The Baker's Wife bakery for peach tea and the best pretzel I've ever eaten! I've found so many interesting local bakeries along my way. Wish we had more of these at home. How cool are these lights!
After hitting some more of the stops on my hosts list, I found myself on the beach. Wonderful day to just lay on the beach reading and people watching. The waves were good enough that I was able to watch a 3 or 4 year old being taught to surf by his dad. Adorable.
Back to my Airbnb to get ready for dinner with my host and her neighbors, Sue and Matt. Excellent meal and a wonderful conversation!
My host took me on a quick tour of the area. We drove through the Highland Bluff area and then down to the river to watch the Musical Fountain.
Highland Bluff is a community of 'cottages' build on the sand dunes beginning in the early 1900's . Very interesting community (link).
Musical Fountain is a nightly music and light displays that was really cool (link). Below are a couple videos that I took of the fountain.
I discovered one thing about Michigan - they produce more blueberries than any other state. I had no idea! (link)
Grand Haven is a really nice community and I'm glad I stopped! My host, Yvonne, was an amazing women who made me feel more like her guest than a client (link).
I'm headed to Springfield, Illinois today.
What a gorgeous home!
