There is a great national list of travel destinations by vehicle. In Michigan on the top twenty summer list is Grand Rapids area including Kentwood. Activity and travel cost helped rank it high. Of course flying to a destination will cost you a bunch with airline fares and rental car cost.
Great parks there including Richmond, yummy restaurants, excellent theatres for plays, pickle ball locations, and even places to laugh at comedians. Take a day trip to Grand Rapids for fun. See more here.
