Michigan vacation - Day 1-Windmill Island Gardens

Hello, friends, we are in Holland, Michigan on our vacation. We did lots of driving to get here,but we spent the day at the Wind Mill Gardens Island, where they have an actual working windmill, that we got to tour, it is 160 feet tall, Then we got to step out on the railed in area and see how the windmill works. They are usually actually making flour, but there was not enough wind today. We got to see some little "Dutch" girls do some wooden shoe dancing. They even had wooden shoes in the gift shop. Anyway, had a nice day, and here's just a couple of pictures. Going to see some lighthouses on Lake Michigan tomorrow...have a good night all.

A beautiful ornate organ that worked like a player piano, very cool.
