Had a really nice spot in the campground with a water view.  The Lansing Cottonwood Campground boasts two stocked fishing ponds.  It’s the only campground in Lansing, and was a perfect spot for us to hang our hats while visiting family.

Lansing is home to Michigan’s State Capitol, and we had a nice time wandering around the Capitol building and the surrounding area.

It was great to spend time with Jeff’s family.  His sister and brother-in-law, Janelle and Andrew, and their kids were in town from Houston, TX, and his sisters Kim and Shelly drove into town with their kids as well.  Great times!
