Grand Rapids, Michigan!

The birthplace of Andy Richter, Taylor Lautner, and Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I arrived here on Sunday evening and will remain until Saturday morning - when I'll move on to Ann Arbor for the weekend (we have 3 days off).  This marks the first state on the tour that I've never been to.  This also marks the longest that we will ever be in one place.  It's been nice to settle into one place for a few days.  I was prepared for awfully bad weather - it is right by Canada - but it's been sunny here all week.  So sunny, in fact, that I was able to put my yellow coat in the dry cleaners to be repaired.  Just lovely, beautiful weather.

I am winding down from a pretty busy week: we did 17 shows in 4 days at 8 different schools.  INSANITY.  By Thursday morning, I felt like I'd been hit by a truck.  However, the kids here are just amazing.  They've had excellent questions, and have actually taught me a thing or two.  They're the type of kids that make me immediately want to go out and get pregnant.  Like seriously - that adorable and fascinating.

I have a light week coming up - I'm hoping that means I'll finally get around to posting those pictures and maybe actually absorbing some culture in these places I'm visiting.
