Monday Mash-Up Part 1

Traveled to Holland this weekend, wanted to get to Grand Rapids very early for the KBS release. We love Holland- we love the stores, the restaurants and the New Holland Brewery.  We especially love staying at the new Marriott Hotel right in downtown Holland. It’s close to all of the action! We seem to always start our little get-a-way at Hops 54.  They have a farm to table menu and 54 craft beers to enjoy.  We can always find one or two that appeal to us.  This trip we enjoyed a Tallgrass Vanilla Bean Buffalo Sweet , ABV 5.2, an Oatmeal cream stout brewed with vanilla beans.  Sehr gut!!

  

Once our thirst was quenched we tackled shopping!  
Needed to purchase this bike pillow!

I could shop all day here!  I hope you enjoy the pictures. The store is called Canterbury Cottage and Kids on Main and it never disappoints me.  

Downtown Holland, MI

We enjoyed dinner at the New Holland Brewing Company.  Brussels Sprouts with bacon and blue cheese tossed with a Dragon’s Milk Vinaigrette along with a New Holland Salad while sipping a Dragon’s Milk stout- is a perfect way to end the day!  

Oh wait, one more brewery on the way back to the Marriott, the Our Brewery!  We split a Coffee Brown, 6.4 ABV, and listened to live music. Had a nice time there talking to the locals! Shout out to Dave!!




We ran 12 miles this week. Hope you had a wonderful weekend!!
auf Wiedersehen!
