Summer Vacation: Short Report #5
July 5, 2011
We went up to Grand Rapids, Michigan State, to visit Fredrik Meijer Gardens and Sculputer Park a.o.
We had never heard about this park before; I hereby recommend it to all lovers of Art and Flowers and Nature.
Here follows some snap-shots from July 5:
Blue Orchide
The American Horse
The Laying Man. The Park is so huge and packed with exciting observations, it is recommended to lay down and memorize for a while.
(I promise to post much more from this extrodinary park when back at home)
Joe is a great musician, married to Dana, who is sister of my Sons wife. When he played and song “Great Balls of Fire”, papa was like a teenager again;-)
We asked Joe if he could recommend a restaurant – we told him what would like to have for Dinner, and ended up here.
Anna and papa loves Oysters… (rest of the meal will be revealed during the Autumn)
We choosed a Riesling from Washington state. Very fresh and suitable for Oysters – Champagne is as well accepted;-)
OK, Good Night Folks;-)
More to come….

Perfect! This was a perfect dinner! You make me hungry, Tor! I'm so curious and would want to taste this american wine! Temptation! Sounds you had a marvelous moment visiting the park and enjoy the music!
You act like a teenager because you are young at heart. I've noticed that for years. Just have a fabulous time.
Big hug to you both. :)
That is the prettiest flower!
Looks like you all are having a wonderful time:) So fun to read all the reports:) -hugs, Ingelin and Leander
Love the report and the pics!!!! I haven't been on here enough! I must say, love the oysters and wine! And just love the orchids. I think I might need to go visit the orchid place in California in September!
Now that I see more of your lovely photos I must really visit the sculpture park soon!
We were passing ships in the night, dear Tor! So close to each other but so far. Yes, I was at the family cottage in Michigan from Friday to Sunday that weekend.
I think you will always be a teenager at heart!
