Spotted Dog Cafe

 We haven't really gone out for a nice dinner since we started this trip so today was the day. We stopped at the Spotted Dog Cafe. We both ordered BBQ spareribs, potatoes, carrots and brussel sprouts. The meal was delicious except I ordered double carrots instead of the brussel sprouts. I'm not a fan!

To top off the meal, we ordered a strawberry 

creme broulee. It was fabulous!

We would highly recommend this restaurant. The food was delicious and the staff were very gracious!

It was pretty late when we got back to the camper tonight!

Frederick Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park

 We visited the Frederick Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park today. It is a158 acre botanical garden, outdoor sculpture park and art museum. We stayed a complete day and didn't see it all.

This is the entrance to the Children's Garden

This sculpture is gigantic and gorgeous

We always love the Japanese Gardens. They are so peaceful and calming.

Leaving the Japanese Garden and off on one of many many paths!

It was time for something to eat so we ate 

in this cafe in the main building.

We love the art of Dale Chihuly and this little cafe 

had his work titled "Lena's Garden" on the ceiling. If you walk outside of this restaurant, all of the windows show these flowers above the rest of the gardens.
