More Vacation




Later on Day 2 we visited the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park near Grand Rapids. We were lucky to visit during an exhibition of glass art by Chihuly, who positioned his really cool pieces throughout the gardens.
The permanently displayed pieces are pretty impressive too. In the second picture, Annie and Lee Ann get ready to put a twitch on Leonardo Da Vinci's horse. This sculpture is the largest cast bronze in the world. Leonardo designed it but the techniques for the casting did not exist until modern times.
We wrapped up day 2 by driving north to a little low-rent fishing resort motel just west of Cadillac and spending the night there.
