Grand Rapids (Holland and Grand Haven beach days too!) July 7th and 8th

We had a wonderful weekend visiting GR, Holland and Grand Haven in early July.  We played tour guides for our friends Dave and Lauren, and Kate and Dan.  

We all stayed at the JW Marriot in GR which was really nice.  We headed to Holland on Saturday, complete with a stop at New Holland Brewery and the State Park.  

We headed back to GR and enjoyed dinner at San Chez Bistro, and drinks at Hop Cat (only water for this mama to be!!)

Sunday, we went for a walk around Reeds Lake in GR, complete with a stop at our old favorite Starbucks-  being in east GR brought back so many memories.  We enjoyed brunch at the Electric Cheetah (yum!) and then headed to Grand Haven to spend Sunday afternoon at the beach!

Can't wait for our next adventure with these 2 couples-- we have really enjoyed getting to know them so much better this last 1-2 years :)
