Big Red Lighthouse, Holland, Michigan

Last weekend, my son was playing in a baseball tournament at Grand Valley State University. We decided to take a little side trip to Holland to see what there is to see. I have always wanted to see the Holland Lighthouse (Big Red), but wasn't able to because of its location in a state park. This time, I have the pass on my car, so we drove in to see it. Here is a picture I grabbed.

I have seen this lighthouse for many years in calendars and was a little disappointed in seeing the light. I guess I had high expectations. It was further in the channel than what I am used to, and we were not able to go up to the lighthouse. All in all, it is great to be in Michigan with so many great sites and have one as great as this and call it a disappointment!
