Island Excitement!

 It was an unforgettable time at Mackinac Island.  There is such an special feel on the island, it almost like a trip into the past.  The mood is calm and the scenery is beautiful!  It was tough to decided what to do while we were there!  The ferry ride was a great start to the adventures. One of my favorite aspects of the island is that there are no cars, so we opted to rent bikes and tour around the island. The girls were troopers considering all the places we rode. 

We enjoyed the delicious and "fancy" as the girls called it....lunch at The Grand Hotel.  I appreciated the style in the hotel that captures the feel of times gone by. From the outfits of the staff, the decorating, and details, it was like a journey back in time.  Tessa and Ella loved drinking from their tea cups. They both rose to the occasion and were little ladies!

We were fortunate to find a nice quiet park by the water and we all took a nap, the girls took a longer nap and this was the fuel they needed for the afternoon times!  Kevin chauffeured us on a tour by renting a self-driven buggy. Our horse was named June and moved at her own speed, it was relaxing and fun for all of us.  It was island enjoyment sprinkled with laughs, smiles, giggles, hugs, and many family memories!
