Matt and I went up to Mackinac Island for two days this past week. We went during the week to get MUCH MUCH better rates. Mackinac Island is a 3 mile by 2 mile island - 8 miles around... on which the transportation is limited to horse drawn carriages or bicycles. It is known for delicious fudge hence the visitors such as us are affectionately named, "fudgies." Not to bore you with the history - it played a significant role in the french fur trade in teh 1700's.... later was a part of the War of 1812. Now it is a vacation spot. 80% of the island is Mackinac Island State Park. It's a great place. Very relaxing since there are no cars/traffic noise. Here are our pictures. We did a lot of biking and hiking. (and letterboxing)

Matt is thinking... "I'd rather be home WORKING!"
I just loved the look of this little church. Little Stone Church located down the street from the "Grand Hotel."

Fort Mackinac
Playing pool in the game room. Now I know I've had quite a streak of winning luck lately.... Monopoly & Scrabble but I seriously won 2 out of 3. Honestly, it was by the skin of my teeth but I still WON!!!!!

Looks awesome!! I'm glad you guys had fun!! Love you both and I will see you sometime??!!
I've been there with my family and we loved it. The thing that sticks in my mind the most, is the UPS guy riding with all his packages in the back of a wagon. It was great! I would love to go back sometime.
Hey kids,
Can't seem to get my comment to post?? So if this is on there twice, please forgive me. Anyway, looks like a neat place, I'm glad you had a good time. It hardly seems possible that it's been 5 years!!
I'm proud of you both, and love you lots! Wish you were closer, when're you coming home????
