I was so excited to go to Holland so Carma took me there the day after I arrived. We were both disappointed that the two dutch villages were closed for the winter but we still had fun checking out the town and surrounding areas. Holland is right on Lake Michigan which looks just like the ocean.
The water is so beautiful. I just loved it. We hiked up a sand dune that was 255 ft high. That was quite a workout and a lovely view from the top.
The weather was absolutely perfect! The sun was shining brightly over the lake.
I loved the views with all the boats. It was just so peaceful and lovely.
Even though the dutch villages were closed, we were able to get into one of them and take some pictures. The dutch buildings were so cute.
I love the children's slide in the picture above. You can see the red slide to the left of the wooden shoe. I was amazed at how big it was.
Of course, there was a cute windmill. I loved the colors.
Most of all, I loved these adorable dutch dolls. I really, really wanted to buy them.
This little boy doll is so cute. He reminded me of one of my grandsons and I really wanted to buy him but I thought $30 was a bit too much. I thought maybe I could find it cheaper somewhere else but I'm not sure that I can. After looking online, I've decided that was a good price. Those precious moments dolls are expensive! So instead of buying a doll, I took a picture. (Thanks to Charity for teaching me that!)
The gift shop had lots of wooden shoes. I bought taffy and some cookies for Carma's kids here! I'll have to go back again when the villages are open. My brother Gary wants to come also so it will be fun to look forward to that!
