Herb and I spent the day touring around the Grand Rapids area. We began with the Gerald R. Ford presidential museum. Each time I go, I see something new and learn something new! Next, we were on our way to lunch on I-96 and saw the helicopter crash on top of Spectrum Hospital! Amazing to see the flames shooting out (and it even made national news). We enjoyed lunch and then headed to Meijer Gardens. Below you see Herb in the tropical plant greenhouse.

xt, we thought this photo of Herb with DaVinci's horse was a good shot! We also captured a nice photo of Herb with Fred and Lena Meijer. We truly enjoyed the gardens. Many things have been added since I was last there, including several new sculptures and a farmhouse area. Also, the boardwalk through the wetlands was finished. 
Later on, we also walked at Roselle Park. My dear spouse is test driving a sports car this weekend - a BMW. Of course, Harrison took a turn driving it! Harrison also went to the year-book signing party at school. Then, we cooked blue-cheese burgers on the grill and now are watching National Treasure II. I'm not sure what we'll do tomorrow; we're considering a movie/exercise day (watch a movie, exercise, watch another, exercise ...). One last note - what a glorious day! Just a beautiful, warm spring day!

What a fun day. I'm surprised you didn't stop by the VanAndel Museum and ride on the carousel!
Did you enjoy Tom Brokaw? I'm sorry to have missed that, but the 7th grade band was enjoyable to listen to (sorry I didn't get any pictures of your son.. mine either...but they were hidden behind music stands. Suffice it to say they both looked nice in their matching ensembles (heh, who am I kidding, they looked like twins!)
Hey Laura cool pics our days in GR were really fun.
