More RV Adventures: Michigan

We decided to make a trip into Michigan. We went to a Dutch Village in Holland Michigan. Where they make wooden shoes. They showed how they made them. A women was painting some while we were there. They had all kinds of them for sale some painted and some plain. I tried a pair on and they felt funny, really clumsy and made a lot of noise. They had all kinds of things you could buy. The village wasn’t open the day we were there .

They had a building with a clock on it that played every quarter hour with 25 bells it was great. We were going to go to windmill Island . It is very beautiful when the tulips are blooming but they are not in bloom now. The hillside would be full of tulips and a big windmill and a bunch of shops.We did go to South Haven it has two long Piers going out into the water where people can fish.

It has a lighthouse on one pier. The other pier had a beckon and had a light on top.

The boats travel down the middle of the two piers out into Lake Michigan. The boats in South Haven harbor were plugged into electric.

People were living in them. It had lots of free parking and was very easy to get to. We went to Waren Dunes State park where they have some real tall sand dunes and a beautiful sandy beach for swimming.

It looks like a Ocean not a lake.

Then we went to St Joseph where they have a beautiful park with a lot of memorials for the different wars honoring our soldiers . They also have a beautiful beach that is all sand too. You could see the lighthouses in the background.

They have two piers that go out in the water for boats to come in the St Joseph harbor . There are two lighthouses on one pier there. They say there are over100 historic lighthouses on the shores of Michigan. We saw a beautiful carousal in the harbor parking lot and watched the kids have fun riding on it.
