Docent Ken made the house come alive with his knowledge of the house. The introductory film is very informative, the house is beautifully restored and well worth the time to enjoy. It’s free! Thanks to Steelcase.

On the SW side of downtown Rockford, this park and waterfront development is just beautiful. Of course we were there at the best time of year to enjoy all the flowers and folliage on both sides of the cascading Rogue River. There are plenty of benches where you can sit and just enjoy the soothing water sounds, watch the river come over the dam and people-watch. It's really worth taking a few minutes out of the shopping circuit in downtown Rockford to relax and enjoy this beauty...any time of year.

The Renaissance mans plans to sculpt a 24-foot bronze horse were never realized until an American sculptor created two models based on da Vincis drawings, one of which graces the Frederik Meijer Gardens.

The horse is so impressive, then you read the history, the care the accurracy, in a setting that allows memories without distractions. A must see among the many things to do at Fred Meijer Gardens.

On the Sunday morning of our recent weekend getaway, before heading back home, we decided to check out this lovely historic neighborhood where many of Grand Rapids elite of the late 19th and early 20th century built their homes! The highlight, of course, is the Frank LLoyd Wright-designed Meyer May House, which unfortunately is closed during these pandemic times. We parked nearby and walked around the house for a closer look (hope to visit when it is safe to do so). Then we walked up and down for several blocks through the neighborhood, enjoying some stunning architectural gems of many styles, including Georgian Revival, Italianate, Gothic Revival, Queen Anne, Federal, and Prairie. And the residents are friendly! We stopped to talk to a couple of them, asking about specific houses. Just take some time and enjoy the sites!!
