One of our favorite golf courses in the Grand Rapids area. (Obviously). Carolyn worked here during high school and college and a brief period after moving back from Oregon. Stephen frequented here while working at Farmers Insurance and is where they met. Often dubbed Plane, Trains, and Automobiles it's a fun course that is always in great condition.
This is an amazing area to escape the city and get lost in nature, sculpture parks, and an indoor tropical conservatory. Always in bloom with horticulture from around the world.
One of the biggest breweries in Grand Rapids this has been a favorite of Carolyn's since college. Great food, atmosphere, and fantastic beer. Enjoy outdoor seating on the patio surrounded by firepits for cooler evenings.
A trip to West Michigan isn't complete without a trip to the Lake. A short drive from Grand Rapids and Caledonia is worth the views and fresh air. One of Carolyn's favorite places in the world is on the shores of Lake Michigan.
A foodies paradise! Whether you're picking up a snack, meal, or ingredients to take back to the hotel. Always a fun place to browse for fresh local goods.
