Grand Rapis, MI is locate on the Grand River and is about 30 miles from Lake Michigan. It is located in Kent county Michigan and is the 114th largest city in the United States. Once the center of furniture production for the United States the city still holds on to the nickname Furniture City.

We just got back from Grand Rapids, MI. My wife’s sister and family have just moved there and we went to see them in their new home. Being that they just moved up there and they had not fully settled in we booked rooms at hotels Grand Rapids for the week we were there.

Grand Rapids is a pretty place. We arrived just in time for the fall leaves to be changing. The night before we arrived was the frost that caused the trees to turn colors. It was a beautiful site as we flew in over the yellows, reds and oranges of the fall trees.

While we were there we spent a lot of time with my sister in laws family and helped them out a lot with the moving stuff around and getting settled in to their new home. There house is really nice, set on an acre of land with lots of mature trees all around. It is a very beautiful setting and being the fall and the colorful leaves made it all the more charming. There was a lot still to be done from the move. Both my sister and brother in law had jobs that required them both to get started right away so they have been trying to settle in in their off time. Not an easy task considering how tired they are when they get done with the work day. My wife and I were really pleased that we were able to get things done for them around their house while they were at work.

Our next visit to Grand Rapids I would like to see more of the area and go to Lake Michigan.
