trip to HOLLAND! ... Michigan ...

It's a long story. Basically, my dad wanted to go somewhere based on someone else's recommendation. We ended up going to Dutch village... in Holland, MI. Here are some photos from the day. I have to say it was kind of fun. Would I go back? No, but hey, it was a nice weekend trip. The best part was probably going to Michigan City for shopping on the way home!

I present to you, mama and papa chen.

don't these look like the trees from The Lorax?!

She's making a dutch candle! It has to be all done in about fifteen minutes before the wax gets too hard to be cut so smoothly. Look it up; they were featured on how it's made and they deliver :D

the finished candles that were on display :D

they had walls of the stuff, so pretty!
