There aren't too many things that are better than living in Holland during the summer. and I can't wait to live nearer to my favorite parts-downtown and the lakeshore! well, the macatawa lakeshore...haha but it's just as cool. as it is, josh and i ride downtown and to kollen park on a fairly regular basis. not as regularly as we should, though!
tonight we rode to kollen park in time for the sunset. we ride on the new boardwalk behind heinz (check it out if you haven't!) and then sit on the benches on the kollen park boardwalk and watch the sun set. fisherman every few feet. families finishing up summer afternoon picnics. not the best sunset i've ever seen, but a beautiful setting.
i also love downtown holland at night. it's quiet, people walking in the evening light and cooler breeze. walking by the stores with their subtle lights and colorful summer displays, past scraps from yesterdays farmers market in the square. couples strolling, holding hands. children racing past their parents on scooters, not having to worry about the cars because there aren't any.
this just might be where happiness comes from.
