A Recap of Spring so far...

Hello

Since I have been so tardy at posting, I shall do all of the things I've been doing in one fell swoop! ^_^ With the help of my beloved Picasa and laziness, here's a little recap of what I've been doing...

A trip to FRANKENMUTH, Michigan!

We went to Frankenmuth for lunch while continuing to shop at Birch Run!! ^_^ The town is absolutely GORGEOUS in Spring and full of retirees, so you basically have the whole place to yourself.=)

A trip to CHICAGO, Illinois!

We went to Millennium Park, The Art Institute of Chicago, Shedd Aquarium, the Millennium Mile, Navy Pier, the park with Buckingham Fountain... Chicago is beautiful!!! ^_^ You can see more photos on my Facebook.=)

A trip to HOLLAND, Michigan!

Visiting Rachel and going for the annual Tulip Festival has been one of the best weekends ever!! ^_^ We went crazy over tulips, crazy over funfair food [it's so bad but SO good!] and basically had a ton of fun!

We even went to the beach by Lake Michigan.=) It was so beautiful and I was totally awe-inspired by how gorgeous it was in the sunset. [The sun sets at around 8.30-9pm?] There are some good parts about being in a more remote location like Michigan, you're near these beautiful lakes.^_^

All these are selected images. There are tons more on Facebook!

Of course, we haven't just been travelling and having fun.. We've been cooking and eating a lot too!!!

Clockwise from top left: Banana Pan Cake with homemade strawberry sauce, Orange-soy-honey pork ribs, Shrimp Dong Fen, Custard Puffs, Lemon-Garlic-Butter Shrimp, Linguini with tomato sauce, Lapcheong mushroom rice, Steamed Fish Tofu with minced pork topping, homemade wantons.

And this isn't all of it.=P You can see more photos on my Facebook! ^_^

And there's been so many beautiful spring days with gorgeous flowers and whatnot that I haven't been able to resist whipping my camera out at every opportune moment.=)

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous spring flowers!!! ^_^ The weather has been glorious as well, sunny skies and windy days.=) We've had our fair share of rain as well, and the strong winds of Michigan have made my umbrella totally useless.=( I have to comfort myself with the thought that with more rain, come more flowers and fruit! ^_^

Alright. I have an exam coming up. I must study!! *flees* We had laksa for dinner this evening.=) Yummy!

cheers
