Mackinaw Island

Yesterday we took the ferry to Mackinaw Island, MI.  What a wonderful trip.  We had such a good time! The ferry over to the island is @ 15minutes and the views were great.  This is the bridge to the upper peninsula.




This was the scene when we got off the ferry.  There are no vehicles allowed on the island.  Only bicycles and horses.  Or you walk.

We took a 2 hr carriage ride around part of the island.  This is the famous Grand Hotel.  They have had such a problem with tourists walking through it that they now charge $10 to come on property.  

These guys pulled our trolley. 

















Tried to see how much I could get in this shot -  2 lighthouses, kites, Lake Michigan and a beautiful house!

Blogger started causing problems so I can't caption the following pics. Steve found a couple of geocaches on the island.  We rented bikes and road around the island.  About 8 1/2 miles.  (Take that Tommy!)
















We would go back tomorrow if someone wanted to take us!  Loved it!
