great photos! i live about 10 minutes away from the meijer gardens! i love their sculpture park!!
i looked at your food blog! i love the blue water grill too! next time you're in the area, you should check out the honey creek inn, in cannonsburg. its pretty casual but its yum!
also, my mom will be opening a bakery in a small town outside of grand rapids (October!) and she will be carrying her own breads and homemade ice cream! The website isn't up yet i don't think but check back! SHe's amazing.
