When in Rome

When visiting other cities, it is only polite to try their local offering. And, so, our overnight in Grand Haven started with a view of the sunset at the Lake Michigan pier.

At Old Boy's Brewery in neighboring Spring Lake, I ordered the mulled wine, because when this rarity is on the menu, one must partake. By the time my second round--a pumpkin ale--arrived the live soloist started her performance. Her playlist included Indigo Girls, Bonnie Raitt, and an oldie by Patti Smith. Warm fuzzies for the year 1990 wrapped around my shoulders.

We moved on to Odd Sides Ales and sampled more of the local flavor. As we got ready to leave, a duo of musicians was setting up in the corner.

Back at our lakefront B&B, the fireplace is roaring. It's a good night in West Michigan.
