Heading Up North
Thursday night my husband and I will be leaving our toddler with one of his grandmas and heading up to one of our favorite places on earth: Mackinac Island. (It's pronounced Mackinaw for you non-Michiganders.) We are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary (albeit about 3 months early) on this fantastic island where horse is king (no cars or other motorized vehicles allowed) and at any moment you may get mowed down by a porter on a bicycle, his basket piled high with luggage, coming up to the very edge of the laws of physics. For three days we will ride our bikes, eat fudge (him), take pictures of the changing colors (me), go horseback riding, and generally enjoy the Mission Point Resort on the southeastern point of the island.
I've posted a number of photos of earlier trips to the island in older posts (see the old blog) but I'll share a few here so you can start getting jealous (and planning your own trip).






I love Mackinac. I'm definitely jealous.
Love the last picture. Say hi to Ste. Anne's for me.
Ooo la la! Happy tenth (even if it is a little early!) And thank you for teaching me the correct pronunciation! I've always said MackinaCK. :)
It is beautiful... And I would never have guessed the pronounciation of the island!!
