I visited Grand Rapids a number of years ago to visit some very old family friends--they came over on the boat with my grandparents, and their son was my dad's playmate on the trip here from the Netherlands. It was really surreal, because a lot of major things there are named after the Van Andel family--my grandpa's stepdad's family. But we enjoyed the chance to see a lot of the old homes in the area, which is something my entire family enjoys. Thank you for sharing these pictures--it reminds me of my trip there.
