    Hey LRaider- yes weather is good. It's fall now so starting to get cold (no where near a MI winter more like your fall) but still awesome and the best nights for a fire on the beach and thermal hot pools*! You should come visit!


    * Hot pools may just be the BEST part of all of NZ!

    LRaider, I grew up in Belding, but then went off to PA for college and now live in VA.  My parents and most of my family is still in the Belding area and that is why I chose to come back there for the wedding.  I love coming back to a small town to escape the populated area I currently live in.
