Grand Rapids, MI and Bloomington, IL

So I didn't see any rapids, but the city was nice. On the city sheet that we get for each city, Grand Rapids was described as one of the US's greatest cities, I'm still trying to figure out why. We were there on a beautiful day and had a wonderful time, but honestly, there wasn't much to do!
We had lunch at a fantastic tapas restaurant called San Chez. If you are ever in Grand Rapids you should make sure to go there. The food is great and they make one fabulous Bloody Mary.
From there we walked down the main strip and down along the waterfront. We stopped to rest at a park in front of the Gerald Ford Museum. We didn't go in, but the park was very green.




























On our walk we passed the Four Friends Coffee Shop. Being the four friends that we are, we had to take a pic!
Four friends, one coffeeshop!

From there we had a 2 show day at a typical arena:
So after the second show we got some food and got on the bus for the drive to Bloomington, IL which I have been calling Boomfield for the past week or so! hahaha. So, we got to Bloomington with enough time to check into the hotel, go to the gym, shower, get on the bus and go to next arena for 2 more shows. I have to say that this was the first time that I got seriosuly confused from all of the traveling. I knew we were in a new city, but the arena looked the same!




























I think it's the backstage more than anything that looks EXACTLY the same at every arena. Plus, the stages are the same dimensions. It really threw me for a loop. We had catering between the shows and then afterwards got on the buses to head to Louisville, KY so I never got to see Bloomington. From what I hear, I didn't miss anything.
Next stop...Luhville!
