Grand Haven State Park, located on the shore of Lake Michigan where the Grand River empties in it, has great views of the lighthouse and boardwalk making it an outstanding RV park. While the roads and sites are paved, the fine sand blows and partially covers them. We arrived here on Tuesday, and George and Jan and George and Irene headed out on our bikes on the boardwalk along the Grand River which is next to the park. 
Later as we sat outside talking and enjoying the view, our warm sunny day turned cool as a cold wind blew off the lake. We went out to dinner to enjoy fried clams and returned to the park before sunset which was impressive with the lighthouse and pier in the foreground.
Wednesday morning was cool and windy when George and Irene bicycled to the Grand Haven farmer’s market where there was a variety of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. We’d passed by apple orchards throughout Michigan and were glad finally to arrive where 
the apples were ripe. We bought Honey Crisp apples and raspberries.
In the afternoon, it was a little warmer and we all bicycled on some of Grand Haven’s paved bike trails and then ended up downtown for coffee and snacks. Jan and Irene went in a few shops. When we started back, Irene’s bike had a flat tire so she started walking (pushing the bike) accompanied by Jan who also walked. 
George S. biked back to the RV park to get George who returned in the truck to pick up Irene and her lame bike. After dinner, Jan and Irene walked down the beach to the pier, walking out to the lighthouse where people gather for sunset. It was another great sunset, ending another great day in Michigan.
