It is easy to forget the joys of your town when you're surrounded by them all the time. I live in a great place. Grand Rapids has a lot to offer a person when you don't let normal life cause you to forget all about it. As I was on a forced vacation (no, I wasn't in trouble. The family I work for was out of town), I spend the last couple of days walking my city trying to see it as a tourist instead of a resident. Now, I didn't go anywhere I've never been before, but I did go to the places I went to complete immerse myself in them and enjoy them like I never have before.
