First time – Lansing, MI

by Bryan Lor

Trip Date: June 16th-18th, 2017

We left at 2:00 AM for the long drive to Michigan and didn’t get to Lansing, MI until later in the afternoon (4 PM I think).  We took a detour to Grand Rapids to visit my friends’ sister and her husband at their restaurant before heading over to Lansing for the rest of the weekend.  Grand Rapids reminded me much of Milwaukee, especially the revitalization efforts that are going into the old factory/warehouse buildings.  

While in Lansing, I had the chance to meet many of the people that my friends grew up with and some of those people even knew some friends of mine from back in Wisconsin.  Small world indeed!  The wedding wasn’t until the Saturday, so on Friday night we spent the evening hanging out at a bonfire catching up with people.  The wedding was pretty much all day.  We didn’t leave until 4 or 5 PM, which by then some of us were pretty tired already.

Thanks to my friends and their family for the warmest welcome.  Even though our time there was limited, I at least got the chance to eat crack chicken and QD’s french onion dip!  I will be back again for sure.
