Michigan Visit

Hubby and I took a trip to Michigan to visit Danny and Jessica this past weekend.  We arrived late but we were welcomed with a beautiful basket filled with Michigan treats in our hotel room from Dan and Jess.  It was perfect because we were hungry.  It was late in Michigan  but still felt like a late dinner time for us.
 The next morning we picked Danny up for school at his place, ate breakfast at Marie Catrib's and then drove to Grand Valley University in Allendale where we were met with a marching band.  A basket filled with treats and a marching band, we are starting to feel pretty special!  Danny went to class and Hubby and I walked all over the campus enjoying the sunshine and beautiful Fall colors.
 Grand Valley University has a beautiful campus and the students all looked so clean cut and happy that it just made me smile.
 Danny had afternoon classes at the downtown Grand Rapids campus so after we dropped him off there we went back to our room and took a nap.  We drove around Calvin College and Reeds Lake too.
In the evening we picked up Braden from his dorm at Calvin College and drove to Bistro Bella Vita, the restaurant where Danny works as a waiter.  We met Danny and Jess there and had a delicious dinner.
Everything was so good, we enjoyed visiting with Braden, Dan and Jess and meeting all of Danny's coworkers.  They made us a special appetizer and it was crazy good!
When they saw Hubby they felt as though they were looking at Danny in 20-30 years.
 I was in the moment so my pictures aren't good but you get the idea, good times!
 More trip stories later...

So glad you had such a good time! Talked with Fred today at school and he sang the praises of Grand Rapids. Can't wait to hear all about it!
Funny what you said about Danny and Fred looking alike, as I kept seeing Max as I was talking to him today!
Heading to Cal. on Thurs. to see my sister, but let's get together soon!
