I have twins and have heard since we learned we were having twins about Twin Days. Since I have family in Michigan, it would be nice to plan a trip there to visit and take a jaunt down to Twin Days.

My family and friends of the family visited there when I was a kid (I used to live in Jackson). As I recall, the town is very staunch with their building codes, enforcing all buildings within a certain area to retain a Bavarian flair. Something like Solvang, California. Yet as a child, it was delightful. I’d like to go back while my own children are still that — children — and they can enjoy it as much as I did.

I was young and still living in Michigan (therefore, under the age of 13). I’ve always loved tulips and having gone there during the time when the tulips were in full bloom (I don’t recall it being during the actual annual festival), my love for the flowers solidified.

Now if only I could grow them and enjoy them in my own yard.

I want to go back because a lot of my ancestory is documented there – I’m Danish. I do recall going through one of the museums to see a ton of framed pictures around the late 1700’s, early 1800’s and commenting “Boy, am I glad I’ve got a bit of Irish in me too” because almost everyone in those pictures looked painfully plain. I think that makes me want to visit all the more because I find it very hard to believe they were really all that … ahm … plain looking.
