Mackinac Bridge & Mackinac Island
It was a great day to visit Mackinac Island (clear skies with temps in the mid 70’s). After over five miles of walking the hills on Mackinac Island, my feet are tired—there are no motorized vehicles allowed on Mackinac Island. You either ride in a horse drawn carriage, ride a bike, or walk. We walked… and walked… and walked some more.
It is a very picturesque island. The highlight is the Grand Hotel. Rooms are over $400 per night! Yikes! They charge $10 just to walk on it’s porch! Barb and I enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Gate House and had a hot fudge sundae at Sander’s. We also bought some JoAnn’s Fudge to savor in our Airstream later!
On the ferry ride to Mackinac Island we went under the mighty Mackinac Bridge. What a marvel of man’s ingenuity. At the time it was built in 1957, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. We will travel over the Mackinac Bridge tomorrow when we go into Michigan’s lower peninsula.

You had me at fudge! Now I want some!
Wow! $400 a night. How can anyone even afford that?!
The fudge, oh yeah… we are enjoying it. Shared it with Vicki when we stopped there.
Hi I have a stroller just like Charming’s for my Sophie. I wonder what the rooms are like at that hotel for $400!
Have fun, thanks for keeping us up to date on your travels. Love you Guys!
I’ll never find out. They want $10 to just walk on the porch!
