I live here.

Maybe you don't remember in 2010 when Holland, MI (the home of my alma mater) was voted "The 2nd Happiest Place in the United States", but I do. I was so proud to have a place I've called home be recognized for they joy it brings to it's residents and visitors alike.

Well, a place I call home has done it again. This year (2011), the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, was touted by ABC News as "The Most Beautiful Place in America." Again, I'm proud that a place holding a large piece of my heart is recognized for it's beauty and I'm thankful to have called it home for most of my life.
