I blog a lot about my travels in Asia, but rarely do I post about being back home. I spent over six weeks back in western Michigan and crammed a lot of fun stuff worth blogging about.
First up: Frederik Meijer Gardens.
I've been here multiple times as a young child and the only thing I could remember was that there's a giant horse.

Well, more importantly, 3rd grade Robin remembered the giant testicles. Look at the glorious view with its artistic Instagram filter.
Though giant horse testicles are enough to tempt anyone into forking over the $12 entry fee, I actually went to watch my friend's boyfriend's band play outside in the amphitheatre. Hundreds of Michiganders spread out blankets and chairs to soak up the sun while drinking overpriced beer and listening to local bands.
I made sure to get there before the bands started to get another viewing of the horse testicles. And weird bunny statues.
A friend and I then decided to have a competition of who could take the most awkward photo with the sculptures.
Then I burnt my crotch on a Stegosaurus.
And yeah, it is the Frederik Meijer Gardens, so besides well-formed bunny glutes, enlarged equine testicles, and a mild case of burnt stegosaurus crotch, there's like, flowers and shit.
