After leaving Ann Arbor on Monday we drove to Holland which is located South of Grand Rapids along Lake Michigan. Tuesday morning we had breakfast at the Parkway Inn, a local diner, then we were off to Grand Rapids. After spending so much time in the car we needed to move around a little. It was a beautiful sunny day so we went to the Frederik Meijer Gardens. We spent several hours walking the grounds enjoying the gardens and sculptures. We worked up a thirst so decided to see if Founders Brewing could help us out. By the time we got to the brewery we were also getting hungry so the first thing we did was order some food. Food is both ordered and paid for directly at the kitchen separately from your beverage purchase. The food was okay but not great. The bread on my sandwich was toasted to the point that it was like eating a giant crouton. It was such a nice day that the overhead garage doors, much like those at the Kansas City Flying Saucer, were opened. Unfortunately the garage doors were downwind of the trash bins so it smelled like we were drinking at the city dump. The beer was good but the aroma wasn't. We finished our lunch and headed back to Holland.
