Grand View

A view of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library as seen from the Grand Gallery Overlook level of DeVos Place convention center in Downtown Grand Rapids, MI. That's the Grand River in the foreground.

Part of a totally revitalized downtown, the Ford Museum is a great place to spend a day in G.R.

The view with the naked eye was much more grand.I'm signing up for a camera class for some help using my digital camera.

TUESDAY TALLY: Fun in GR

Having just returned from nearly four days in Grand Rapids, Michigan, it's easy to tally up a list of my favorite things to do in West Michigan's largest city:

1. Visit the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum, the legacy of our 38th President who was never elected to the nation's highest office.
2. Walk across the street to the Grand Rapids Public Museum.
3. Another amazing place is Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, a truly breathtaking display of natural and man-made art.
4. Stop by The B.O.B. -- That's the "Big Old Building" converted into a multifaceted entertainment center and restaurant complex.
5. Have dinner and join the fun at Mojo's Dueling Piano Bar and Restaurant.
6. Ride bike along the riverfront.
7. Check out the grand architecture of the Amway Grand Plaza hotel (where I stayed on my most recent visit).
8. Head over to the John Ball Park Zoo.

GR is one of my favorite cities.  Check it out for yourself: experiencegr.com
