We’ve been doing some more running around the great state of Michigan so I though I would share those adventures before my phone gets too full of pictures. Click over to this weeks earlier post if you missed it to check out our previous adventures. 

First off we headed to the little town of Battle Creek to visit some family and of, course hunt down some Pokemon (it’s a healthy addiction right?)

They have a beautiful little river side park called friendship park, and of course another brewery. This one called Arcadia, they make an excellent cherry cider. 

We also hit up a few shops in southern Michigan including this wonderful little art gallery  and shop in Marshall called EastEnd Studio

And our all time favorite coffee shop

On Friday we had the privilege of attending a beautiful wedding at the Fredrick Meijer gardens in Grand Rapids.

 If you ever have a chance to visit here you must do so. 

We headed to the venu early so we could have the chance to look around the gardens. 

Not only is it an amazing botanical collection they also have one of  the most amazing and extensive modern sculptural collections in the United States. 

Primarily we wanted to check out the Japanese gardens. 

It’s the newest and biggest section and it is absolutely stunning. 

 I think I may finally have inspiration on how to landscape our back yard this fall.

 Though I don’t think I’m skilled enough for bonsai on this level… Or any level… The plastic level maybe. 

Today is a very welcomed rainy lazy day then tomorrow we head for the dunes at Lake Michigan. I’m looking forward to sharing that with you next week.
