  • Lansing, Michigan – Part 5 – Strange Matter Coffee and Potter Park Zoo

    Yes, I said days. I had an unexpected day off on Valentine’s Day so Hubby and I went out. Then I took the boys out on Friday which is a rare occurrence now that they are older.

  • Part 4 of our visit to the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo After we were done with the zoo, we went to the Museum of Art.  It was between lightly raining and raining harder so we could not really explore the downtown area. We enjoyed the Museum.  Since it was the Friday before Halloween, they had…

  • Part 3 They had a deal where the train ride was free to everyone on the day we visited.  Earlier in our visit, we saw it went past some beautiful fall foliage so we decided to ride the train.  We ended up the next people up for the ride when we got in line so…
