Mackinaw Island Vacation

Here's some pictures we took along the shore of Lake Superior on our drive. It was cold and windy which is what it's always like when I'm near Lake Superior. But, it was beautiful! The water was so clear and pretty and the sand beach was beautiful. Then I had aaron take a picture of me with my hands in the sand because it was so soft and felt so good. I know. I know. It's just sand. But, it WAS really wonderful sand.


The Mackinac Bridge.


We pulled over before we crossed the bridge and took a few pictures.


These are a couple of pictures of the resort we stayed at.I put these up for you mom and dad, thought you might like to see the place.The resort was very nice, you guys should check it out. Thanks for letting use some of your time.


We got a few pictures with both of us in it. Mostly we just took pictures of the scenery or else me with the scenery. The picture of us on the ferry was taken by a nice elderly lady who complained a good way of the boat ride back about how everything was much too expensive. She was funny at first and then just annoying so I put my head on aaron's shoulder and pretended to sleep.


Okay, so this is the general size of the houses on the island-amazing! There were so many gorgeous buildings, but these were some of my favorite.

This is where we ate lunch when we were on the island. It was a gorgeous bed and breakfast with a terrace overlooking the lake. The food was delicious and the view was amazing. Best thing about it was that it wasn't even expensive. We hit the jackpot with this place!

"The Grand Hotel" was indeed quite grand. But, so were their prices to even step foot inside. It was $10 a person just to walk past a certain point. I found the people there to be a little richy richy and snobby for my liking. And, after a guy told us we weren't allowed to walk any further without paying the twenty dollar price tag of looking at it, I decided I didn't want to pay their rediculous price. (Now that I'm home, I of course wish I would've just paid the dumb price.) But, Aaron and I did sneak down on the lower side by the pool and the lush backyard garden and got a few pictures. So, I felt like I had sufficiently "gave it to them" for being so obnoxiously snooty. Below is a picture of the dress code that I thought was a joke. I thought it was from the olden days. But, my husband happily pointed out the fact that that was the point of the island and the hotel-to make it like it was back then and that those dress code rules were in fact, still in place today. That too, I thought was little bit much!
