Traveling with the Schroeders: Frederik Meijer Gardens, Grand Rapids, Michigan

Grand Rapids is about two hours away from us, so I think it may exceed "local" for the Local Tourist.  But it was the last free day before the school year began for Laura, so we decided to finally make the trip to the Frederik Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

We were told by one of the workers there to make sure we toured the English Gardens and Japanese Gardens.  We decided not to walk through the entire sculpture garden, although that seemed pretty expansive.  We were sure not to miss the sculpture "American Horse," a 24-foot tall horse based on drawings by Leonardo da Vinci.  Finally, we stopped in the conservatory to see tropical and desert plants.

Here are some photos.
