Ohio has been left behind and we are continuing on our westward journey. Today and tomorrow we are in Grand Rapids, MI, visiting my college roommate from the fall of 1999 and her wife and sons. It has been sixteen years since we’ve seen each other, but we picked up right where we left off, and it was so great to meet her family! The best part, as most parents might agree, is that our kids hit it off from the very first moment!

We spent the afternoon at Frederick Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park enjoying each other’s company and the beautifully designed gardens and art installations. (Photo above with The American Horse).
