Mackinac Island anniversary


We had wanted to go to Mackinac Island for a long time, so we finally made the trip for our anniversary.  It looks like these pictures are on backwards...I don't know how to fix that.  Oh well.  Think in reverse.  

We stopped at this BBQ place on the way home.  We were both in the mood for BBQ and we couldn't find it on the Island.  This place was authentic.






This is where we bought some things at a good price.

Cool bird house

Brisket chili at the Gate House

It was very cold on the ferry.

This is the famous stairway at the Grand Hotel, from the movie Somewhere In Time.


Game we almost bought, and still might buy.

One of the places we ate lunch.

Our hotel, The Harbour View Inn.

Lots of horses on the island...no cars allowed.

The main drag where all the stores, horses, and bikes are.

Where we ate one time.

 The weather was abnormally cold while we were there, so it made for a very chilly couple of days.  Not the best way to "enjoy" an anniversary trip...so we didn't have the greatest time.  The main reason I wanted to go was to see the Grand Hotel because I had always loved the movie, Somewhere in Time.  I feel satisfied now.  Thanks for taking me, Darryl
