touring Michigan

Yesterday, Monday, I went to visit my friend Nancy in Kalamazoo.

No, it wasn't Friday the 13th because she'll be on vacation that day. We had to settle for a different day. That was okay because it's always fun to hang out with friends, no matter the day.


When we discussed what to do for our "outing", we decided that we should start finding fun and unusual places here in Michigan.


We began with Marshall. The city is known for its architecture and history.


First, we took a walk along the river. The boardwalk was shaded so even though
it was heating up we weren't baking in the sun. The length of the river walk is 1.2 miles. We made it all the way to the dam.
From there we went to lunch at Schuler's. They are known for their cheese, hence the "cheesy" picture!

We walked over to the fountain...

and then toured the Honolulu House.

Then we drove around checking out the architecture. We eventually found an ice cream shop so we stopped in to cool off. It was a fun day!

They say this one is Italian Villa, but I think it's a little more Italianate.

Here's a great example of Queen Anne
architecture.

This is the octagon house.
