    Similar to last year's fun in Kalamazoo, this year's outing is in Holland.
    Fun things to do, great people and cool cars.
    Open to all. (Except for the Friday gathering as bylaws won't allow non FCA members for this club dues subsidized event).

    Itinerary is below.
    I highly recommend going on the special tour Inside the 150 year old authentic Dutch windmill. It is truly incredible. Everything hand made, massive and mechanical--and Still grinding grain into flour daily on granite mill stones!

    My wife and I had a great time last year. Just moved my son up to Holland for his first job. We will plan to be there. Is it ok if he comes with us to the restaurants?
