@bozz: I've actually never spent too much time down in that part of the state. We usually go North from where I live in the middle latitudes. I do enjoy the Grand Rapids area, and I think my wife and I are going to try and hit the Tulip festival in Holland next Spring. It's pretty crazy how you can travel anywhere in Michigan and hit one of the great lakes within about an hour and a half. I don't think people from outside the area really understand just how massive the lakes are.
