Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park

Mikel and I headed to Grand Rapids to check out an exhibit at the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. We didn't actually walk around the garden or sculpture park (it's snowing and cold and nothing's blooming) but there was a Christmas exhibit inside. There were 40 different Christmas trees decorated with international themes. Each tree was decorated with traditional ornaments from the country and there was a little plaque detailing the Christmas traditions of each country.

We also walked through some of the gardens that were inside. It was beautiful!!
