I knew absolutely nothing about Grand Rapids (GR) until I started dating my boyfriend last December. He goes to Grand Valley State University, which is located in Allendale, a small town 20 minutes outside of downtown GR. We have had so much fun exploring the city and its surrounding areas together, so I wanted to share some ideas for your next trip to West Michigan!
