George George Park

• 
  
• George George Park is located in Clinton Township, on Moravian between Harrison and Cass Avenue.  This thirty acre park includes three play structures, toddler and child sized swings, covered pavilions, fountain plaza, 5000 feet of walking and bike paths, a wedding garden (great for photos too), benches, picnic tables, a public restrooms, garbage and plenty of trees for shade. 

We didn't stay for very long on the day we visited, but from what I saw this park is amazing.  It is very well maintained and Rosa had a ton of fun playing.  Not all the structures are not designed for toddlers, Rosa (at almost 4 years) had a hard time navigating one of the structures.  And I was super nervous about her climbing so high on the main structure.

Miller Vein in Troy - sponsored post

by Guest Blogger: Chancellor Wyman (my dear husband)

sponsored post

I was invited to get a free consultation and spider vein treatment by Miller Vein in Troy, Michigan, located in the TruVista Center on Maple Drive.

The TruVista Center is a newer building with a very spacious, inviting and modern lobby area. My initial impression upon walking into the building is that it was very tastefully decorated and quite possible meant to attract a more discerning clientele.

Miller Vein is located on the second floor and the decor of waiting room fit in the sensibility of the building. They also have a very inviting and spacious waiting room. The receptionist was very friendly and directed me to not only fill out preliminary paperwork, she also directed me to a table where there was a Keurig machine. They had various selections of tea and coffee available along with water. An LCD screen complemented the area, displaying an aquarium with soothing music.

As soon as I was done with the initial paperwork, I was directed to a patient room by a friendly assistant where I changed into shorts that were provided by the practice. Then I was led to a room where the assistant performed a cursory sonogram on my legs to check circulation and blood flow.

Back in the patient room, Dr. Wang came in and advised me of any medical issues that he had noticed not only on the scan, but also physical observations as well. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, concise, and advised that while the spider-vein treatment was possible, he felt it would not be in my best interest due to other medical circulatory problems that should be addressed first. Basically, it makes more sense to treat medical issues before initiating a cosmetic procedure that isn't a medical necessity.

Overall, I had a positive experience at Miller Vein. The whole staff was very friendly, polite, and helped to make me feel comfortable. I greatly appreciated the candor of Dr. Wang and the clear and concise manner in which he related information to me. While I was not able to get the spider vein treatment, I would still highly recommend them.

Stony Creek Metropark - Play Structure at Eastwood Beach

Today we visited Stony Creek Metropark.  What a beautiful park.  There are over 4,000 acres to explore filled with bike and walking trails, beaches, picnic areas and so much more.

We spent our time today at the play structure at Eastwood Beach.

There is a structure for toddlers and a couple for the older children.

Swings for infants, children and one chair for children with special needs.

The structure is near the restrooms with ample picnic tables, seating for adults, garbage cans and a few trees to provide an escape from the sun.

I can imagine that this will be a very popular spot once summer is upon us and the beach is open too.

 

The Metropark also features a nature center, mountain bike skills course, disc-golf course, 18-hole regulation golf course, baseball diamonds, playgrounds, soccer fields, volleyball and basketball courts. Picnic areas with reservable shelters, grills and comfort stations are located throughout the park. Enjoy the best of nature and outdoor fun at Stony Creek Metropark.

A Metropark Motor Vehicle Entry Permit gives you access to all 13 Huron-Clinton Metroparks
Annual  $25
Seniors (62+) $15
