Mackinac Island














When we awoke on Wednesday morning Larry and I thought oh no. We have had wonderful weather and the day we plan to go to the island it is cool, cloudy and misting rain. Oh well, we decided that it was now or never for our friends to see Mackinc so off we went to the ferry. The day was Beautiful. No rain, sunshine and very comfortable. They are starting to tease me about the weather control but I keep telling them it is just the luck of the draw as all my friends from Michigan know it can CHANGE quick.
Anyway it was a great day. We took the carriage ride around the island which tells Larry and me that we are much older than the last time we were here when we rode bicycles on the Island. We got off at the Fort and enjoyed some of the history there and had lunch at the Tea Room which overlooks the Harbor. What a great view. We walked back down to the main street so I could purchase some famous fudge from Murdicks for Ally and arrived back on the mainland around 4:30pm and were ready to start on Phase II. Had dinner at Audies and then came back and sat down by Lake Huron and watched the traffic on the Bridge and a freighter going under the Bridge. Today we are heading south to Traverse City by way of Petoskey. We plan to do lunch in Petoskey and check out some little shops and then on to the RV Resort. MEM
