House hunting in Michigan

Mom has gotten a new job in Michigan so we will be moving away from Minneapolis soon. I don't really understand this move-thing just yet, but we had a very good time house-hunting in Grand Rapids and a little town called Holland. We had beautiful weather during our road trip...
...and I was in a great mood! Which was good, because the trip took 12 hours!!
The breakfast buffet at the hotel was very good. I had something different almost every day.
We looked at tons of houses, but mom and dad finally decided on this one. It's in East Grand Rapids, close to the Gaslight Village and a beautiful lake.
We loved the hard wood floors. I tested running on them, round and around I went!
The kitchen is a little older, but it will be just fine, and we could always upgrade a little if needed.
Hello, welcome to my new room...
...well, it's a bit empty at the moment, but you just wait. It will be fabulous!
After all that house-hunting I was exhausted and I slept like a rock all night. My sleeping position? Well, it's my yoga sleeping. I call this one "Half-Tortoise Pose with Upward-facing Dog".
Although the schedule was extremely hectic there was a little time for me to play as well. The swings in Grand Rapids are not bad.
This was the best! Just look at that car that is attached to the cart in the grocery store. Have you ever seen a better invention. Now, if only mom and dad had let me try all the different colors. Next time I'm going for a blue one!
We also found a new daycare for me. It's called Creative Learning Center. Here I am with Lisa, the program director. She was so nice! I had a great time playing and didn't want to leave.
At the entrance the daycare has an aquarium that was so much fun to look at!
We really liked the daycare building too!
Now it was time to head back to Minneapolis. Bye, bye Grand Rapids, we will see you soon!
We stopped a couple of times to eat on the way home, but it felt like the trip was a bit faster on the way home.
The weather was gray and boring...
...but I slept a lot of the time so it didn't bother me. Goodnight everyone, see you next time.
