Road Trip: Day 4, part 1

So tired. Not typing much. Sorry. Same as yesterday - part 1 pics w/ narrative; part 2 just pics. Weather report was wrong again, it ended up very sunny and 80.


View of Grand Hotel from the ferry to Mackinac Island (pronounced Mackinaw - Jay says it's the French pronunciation of an Indian word).


"Hey, McFly!"

The Mackinaw Bridge - it's almost 5 miles long!

Downtown Mackinac. Motorized vehicles are prohibited. Horse and carriage and bicycles are the main forms of transportation.

Grand Hotel's Carriage

The UPS "truck". We were told they get several UPS deliveries per day to the island - all delivered to the businesses by carriage.
Our horse drawn carriage tour around the island.

Looking around Fort Mackinac. Good picture of Cayden, not so good one of me.


"5 more minutes, mom"

The Grand Hotel


Ferry trip back. We sat in the bottom. This was pretty much all you could see the whole trip.


8:30 p.m.

Beautiful sunset on the drive back to the hotel.
