As someone who was born and raised here in Grand Rapids, I have been very fortunate to have traveled around my home state quite a bit growing up. There are a few places that my friends and I love to take day trips up to, but there are places that I still (criminally) have not taken the time to visit.

But more importantly, I was also reminded of some places I need to stop at this summer. Considering today is National Plan A Vacation Day, it seems like the perfect time to explore the places I will be traveling to this summer.

 

Here are the places to visit:
