A big HELLO from Kalamazoo, MI we have spent a week here enjoying Michigan wineries, a Greek Festival, then we drove up to Grand Rapids to see President Ford Museum his library is in Ann Arbor. He is the only president that has them split up into two places. We really enjoyed his museum, the oval office had recordings of actual events that took place during his presidency. The cabinet room was interactive with actual situations that took place in the cabinet room and you got to vote on the outcome. There was an exhibit right out of the 70's with Hendrix music and clips from Saturday Night Fever. There was also a very interesting temporary exhibit of all the photographers that died in Vietnam, they were being honored. The photos were wonderful and there are still many missing journalists. We felt very fortunate to see this exhibit since it is leaving the museum in a couple of days.
We found a Bavarian Festival in Frankenmuth so we are headed in that direction.
For now take care and be happy.......
