Beautiful Town On Michigan's West Coast
CNN Money recently named Holland as one of the top five
places to retire. There are several area attractions including
Dutch Village and Windmill Island. We decided to explore
Windmill Island to see the authentic Dutch life.
Holland is also home to the world's largest pickle factory. The
H.J. Heinz Company has operated the factory at the same
location since 1897 and currently processes over 1 million
pounds of pickles per day during the green season.

Holland Harbor Light In The Background
It was a beautiful day, so we went to Holland State Beach.
From this side of the harbor, we had a lovely view of the
lighthouse.

World's Largest Picnic Table
It said "do not climb", but Brent had to sit at the largest
picnic table in the world and get this picture. Kate captures
Brent's climb in the photo below (it was a tough climb.)
