Belle Isle State Park...

We took Candace's parents to Belle Isle State Park on Saturday, 21st March. We enjoyed walking through the aquarium and the conservatory, which houses plants from all over the world. We then made our way to the Nature Centre. It was a great morning out on this small island located in the Detroit River between the United States and Canada.
