    Wow, there are so many good restaurants to try. The hotel room looks cozy and it’s nice that you can have a great view of the city. I like visiting a place like this where the environment is just casual and not too fast-paced.

    For sure one of the destinations that is on out travel list. I wonder how cold it gets on the winter because winter break is coming, but maybe we just wait until next year. Love the horse sculpture and off course will follow your advise to travel hungry, because we love to eat yummy food.

    I had no idea all the amazing things MIchigan had to offer – Grand Rapids specifically. I love the waterways between buildings. It looks so peaceful. I think taking a cooking class would be an awesome memory to make. I will definitely be adding Grand Rapids to my list of Cities to Visit for sure.

    A room with a view over the city sounds awesome! My hubby and I just got back from a staycation, but maybe we should add Grand Rapids to our must-see list!
