Have you ever wanted to hop into the pages of a fairytale? On this two-day trip, you'll come pretty close. On your first day of the trip, you will enchant yourself with vast colorful gardens and admire famous sculptures by French artists Rodin and Degas in Grand Rapids. You will travel through a Victorian-era residential neighborhood and view a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed house. On day two you will step into the pages of a Dutch storybook-like town and visit an authentic Dutch windmill and tulip garden in Holland. You will end your trip walking the boardwalk on the beautiful Grand Haven pier that overlooks a dramatic red lighthouse set in front of Lake Michigan.
