I wanted to go and visit Michigan, but obviously I never had the time or the money. While visiting Grandma's home town, they were to a place called Mackinac Island. I will tell you one thing about this place that made me want to visit the minute I heard.
There are no cars on the island.
No cars. There are are horse drawn carriages on the island that pick you up and take you to the hotel and to get around you can walk or ride bikes. How freaking awesome is that?!
Grandma is a photographer, but I haven't seen them yet, but I did a little research on the place after my mom told me about it. Here are a few pictures of the island, thanks to Google and from the Grand Hotel website.

| Grand Hotel, where they stayed |
That sounds really cool! Lately I've been getting this weird urge to visit either a great-lake state or a stereotypical New England state... I don't know what it is but I just think it'd be really cool to stay in a rented cabin on the lake and go to general stores and buy lobster from the fishermen. Bizarre.
ReplyDeleteI want to do those things too! That's not bizarre! I wanted to go to a place like that for our honeymoon, but I've been wanting to go ever since my Grandma told me about where she grew up.
DeleteI just like traveling and seeing new places, especially in the U.S. it's just fun to see what's around you :)
This sounds like the most wonderful place! And the pictures are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI know! It is so so beautiful! I can't wait to see the pictures that my family took. They went on a bike ride and Grandma and my uncle went golfing.
