Dan, David, and I took a country drive today and stopped by the Sniers Hus for a quick tour. Doesn't that name sound like a place Dr. Se...

The garden reminded me of pictures of Colonial Williamsburg. Looks like ol' Ben Franklin would feel right at home.

Straw roofs always remind me of the three little pigs. The Sniers Hus was built in the 17th Century, so it has some wickedly cool constructi...

We drove further down the country road and slowly passed a group of students learning horseback riding. They looked so proper in their ridin...

Just a little ways down there was another mill. This one still had its wheel and still ground grain. It was built in 1758.

When we arrived at the city park, I couldn't believe how green the grass was, considering that the water was still frozen over, and smal...

After walking in the park for a few minutes, we came upon a huge greenhouse.
