    Lansing Michigan – Part 3 After we were finished with the Riverwalk and downtown, we checked into the hotel and took a nap.

  • Lansing, Michigan – Riverwalk and Downtown -Part 3

    While we were in the museum, it rained. The rain had stopped by the time we got out of the museum so we walked along their riverwalk which was cool. The Dayton Dragons, our minor league baseball team, play the Lansing Lugnuts so we stopped at the exterior of their stadium. There were a couple…

  • Lansing , Michigan – Part 2 – R.E. Oldsmobile Museum

    After we were finished walking around the Capitol Building’s grounds, we went to the R.E. Oldsmobile Museum. The Oldsmobile automobile was started in Lansing which I thought was neat. Did you know the band R.E.O. Speedwagon was named after the Oldsmobile company? I can’t remember the exact story of why they chose the name. However,…

  • Lansing, Michigan – Part 1

    Over Labor Day weekend, I was supposed to meet my friend up in Erie, PA. When that got cancelled because so many bad juju events were occurring in her life at that moment, Hubby decided I still needed to go away. He told me to find a state within driving distance that we had not…

  • If I Could Go Any Where for the Holidays

There is one other interesting place.  That is…

Clock Tower Hubby geocaches.  One of his geocaches was located at their war memorial so we headed there first. After we finished at  the war memorial, we…

  • Johnny Appleseed’s Grave Site Forty-five minutes south of Fort Wayne is a little Amish town called Berne.  The founders immigrated from Switzerland by way of Ohio.  A lot of the architecture reminds me of what I think of when I’ve seen Swiss architecture.  I felt as though I was in another world when I was…

  • Visiting the Art Museum When researching ideas of what to do in Fort Wayne, I discovered John Chapman; aka Johnny Appleseed had lived there.  We decided to try to find the grave site. Close to the grave site is the Johnny Appleseed Campgrounds.  That is where we ended up at first.  We weren’t far from…

  • 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…
