Stanley's first stop was to a farmer's market, where he got to taste some delicious apples and blueberries, grown in one of Michigan's many blueberry fields and orchards.

Next, Stanley visited the Big Red Lighthouse on Lake Michigan, and stopped at a well known ice cream parlor called Captain Sundae. Melissa said that President Bush came and visited there and ordered a Tommy Turtle: vanilla ice cream with caramel, hot fudge, pecans, and topped with whip cream and a cherry on top. YUM. 

Lastly, the Browers took Stanley to Holland, Michigan to visit Windmill Island! The windmill was shipped over from the Netherlands, and the town has one of the largest festivals in the country called Tulip Time Festival - it's to celebrate the town's Dutch heritage.

 Thanks again for such a fun adventure, Brower family!
