August 25-26 Mackinac Island


We decided to spend a few days on Mackinac Island, just across the water from the mainland in upper Michigan. We found the marina to be right in the middle of town, so we had easy access to everything. Mackinac is like paradise, no motorized vehicles of any kind are allowed, all transportation is by bicycle or horse drawn. There is a fort, Grand Hotel, lots of shops and wonderful restaurants. There are golf courses and bike trails all around the island.
We rode our bikes and took horse drawn carriages to brunch and sunset drinks on the veranda of the Grand Hotel. We will definitely come back here some day, as this is one of our favorite places.
