Vacation - Mackinac Island

This is the type of boat that we rode over to Mackinac Island. At first we rode on top deck which in the morning was VERY windy and cold. It proved to be a better ride up there on the way back when it was warmer!



One of the things we did while on the island was to tour the fort. Very interesting if you like history. We also got to see (and hear!) a gun demonstration. And the two fellows were kind enough to have their picture taken (for the zillionth time, I'm sure!).




The other major thing that we did on the island was to bike the 8 mile circumference. We rented two bikes a trailer and tootled all over. Although I didn't get any pictures of us riding, this was one of the pictures along the way. It was an absolutely beautiful day and the ride was wonderful! We stopped a few times along the way to play in the water or along the rocks.

One of the things you can't miss on Mackinac Island or in the city is the sweets of ALL KIND! There are soooo many fudge shops, it's unbelievable! And although we didn't eat any fudge, it was fun to watch them make it. These shops carry everything from caramel apples and ice cream to caramel popcorn and many, many kinds of fudge and candy! Here's Dillon enjoying some ice cream.

Sounds like fun, especially the bike ride.
