Explore this page to take on our "First Date Challenge" (all three things in one day), learn of our favorite spots for fun, and check out some great places to eat!
Visit the site of Sam and Liesl's first date! We spent two hours here talking until the workers kicked us out because they had closed.
After we had gotten kicked out of Madcap on our first date, we walked to the GR Downtown Market to shop and get dinner! This place is so cool!
Conclude your "tour de Liesl and Sam's first date" with a visit to Reed's Lake! Many good memories for both of us here with friends too.
Pinball Land has become a favorite of ours, as Liesl discovered her love for the game "Q*bert" here. So many great games here and great for families!
There are three total antique shops in this huge warehouse building, so make sure to check them all out! We have only gotten lost inside them a couple times...
Pickleball has become one of our favorite sports to play together. Sam is currently winning the all-time series...
On our quest to become good golfers, our journey has led us to the driving range at Maple Hill many times. Although, neither of us have hit the submarine yet...
We feel obligated to put our alma mater on here. With Peet's Coffee, the Nature Preserve, the Sem Pond, what more is there to want? Maybe take a "Calvin Walk" if you're feeling romantic... ;)
A new spot that has great new and used outdoor gear. Make sure to find the used clothes section at the back of the store!
Sam is a little bit obsessed with this place. In addition to being an epic grocery store, it has a restaurant at the back that is awesome.
Our trips to Pinball Land usually include a stop to the Eastern Kille Distillery in Rockford. The pizza and drinks are incredible!
Tacos? So good. Vibes? Also good. Overall? Good.
We have celebrated dating anniversaries, good grades, and more here! Really good views from up there.
