The last outing before the crazy time begins is to the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids. This was another of my “meant to do”s I never did. (Don’t tell me you don’t have a stack of them, too.) My sister, Alice, also wanted to go so we met up with her there on a hot, hot Sunday.
We took the tram ride around to start – it gave us an overview of the sculpture park. Unfortunately, we were towards the rear of the end car and the guide was at the front of the first car. That meant that while the tram was stopped and the guide was talking about the particular piece, we frequently couldn’t see it. It did give the overview we wanted, however. Afterwards, we walked the main loop and took pictures to our hearts’ content.
Here are the three of us by the waterfall garden – a very pretty place.
Towards the end, Alice and I posed with Fred & Lena Meijer. Actually, we were glad just to sit down.
To finish up the day, we had an early supper up the road at the Twisted Rooster. It was recommended by my niece-in-law and proved to be an excellent choice.
