Gerald Ford Museum


We are enjoying a relaxing week - played golf Monday afternoon - the courses here are beautifully green and lush. We toured the Gerald Ford Museum in Grand Rapids yesterday - trying to see many of the presidential libraries while touring the country. A miniature White House - sort of like a doll house - a traveling exhibit - is on display there. Incredible detail - small working TV's and chandeliers.
After lunch, we drove up to Hardy Dam to see Pete & Darlene, friends from Brownsville. They live on their houseboat all summer and in their motor home all winter! They are members of an association that leases land and has built a private marina on the Muskegeon River. We have enjoyed many wonderful houseboat vacations and are really intrigued by this unique lifestyle! Actually, we are thinking about another houseboat vacation with my family in 2010 - found a boat on Lake Cumberland in Kentucky with 8 bedrooms!!!
