This past weekend, Jeff and I went to an annual conference related to his job. This year it was held at Mackinac Island, which is in northern Michigan. Mackinac Island is a National Historic Landmark, nestled between the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan. It is so beautiful up there. So relaxing and fun.
Some info about the island...
*No cars allowed on the island. Most transporting is done by horse and buggy. Most people ride bikes around the island, which I think is about 8 miles long or round- I don't know.
*Was a battleground during the war of 1812. Lots of info I am not including here. If interested, go to http://www.mackinacisland.org/
*The movie Somewhere In Time was filmed here.
*It smells like horse poop.
*It is haunted, YES, it is haunted. Not cool. I have a picture. Proof is in the pudding people. Not to mention that most people have a ghost story to share-if you ask-which I did.
*There are LOTS of fudge shops there.
*One Starbucks is located on the island...:)
All kidding aside...Mackinac Island is a great place to visit. Here a few pics from out trip.
More pics to come:)
