Our Anniversary Trip to Mackinac Island

For our 4th anniversary we decided to go to Mackinac Island. We love the Island...it's where we spent our Honeymoon and we just had to go back!!



We stayed in a cute little bed & breakfast and had a tiny little room on the top floor. It was a cute room and minus the flower wallpaper we loved it.





We spent a lot of time walking around, looking in the shops, riding our bikes, playing on the swings at the school, eating great food, and just relaxing.



We walked up to the Grand Hotel and took our pictures by it. Since it costs money to see it on the inside (if you're not staying there) we decided just to see it from the outside. Besides we paid to see it when we were there for our Honeymoon.



One of days we spent at Mission Point Resort. That's the hotel we stayed at on our Honeymoon. The Mr. got very nostalgic...it was so cute. When we were first there the tower, which is a museum, was being redone. So we knew the next time we were on the island we wanted to go and see it. So we rode our bikes to Mission Point, relaxed on the front lawn, and then headed up the tower. It was so hot in there on the first few levels. Then on the smaller, all glass levels they had little air conditioners to keep things cool. It was much more pleasant. We learned all sorts of things about the island, Mission Point, Michigan lighthouses, and the Great Lakes shipwrecks.



On our last day we went to see the Governor's Mansion. We hiked up this awful hill, waited in line for probably 20 minutes, and walked through the main level in 5 minutes. It was really neat to see and hear about how it came to be, but I wish we could have seen more.





Overall our trip was fantastic! We had a great time and didn't want it to end. We highly recommend that if you ever get the chance to go...GO!!
