Our last few days in Michigan we went north. Mackinaw City, Mackinaw Island and the Upper Peninsula. The ride up along the coast was beautiful, we even stopped and got fresh picked cherries from a road side stand were they pointed out the exact tree that my cherries came from.
We road the boat over to Mackinaw Island. For those of you who don't know this island, let me explain a little.
No cars are allowed on the island. It is all old fashion. To get around you walk, bike, ride a horse, or take a carriage pulled by horses. We did a carriage tour, and saw everything. It is a really neat place and would be even nicer to go back to in about 20 some years, kid free. Tyler did like the boat ride, the horses, and the ice cream, but it is a lot of walking or sitting (stroller, and carriage) with not a whole lot for young kids.
One part of the island Tyler did like was the butterfly conservatory. They were all over and would land on you. They really liked Tyler and I, we had a lot of fun.
The final thing to see is the Mackinaw Bridge. This bridge is what connects the main part of Michigan to the Upper Peninsula. Pretty cool to see and drive over. Tyler applauded when we reached the other side, and said "way to go, we made it!"
These are the same words that I used when we finally made it home, after two weeks. "Way to go, we made it!" The drive home was a little rough on the kids, we spent a lot of time in car seats on this trip. The two days after we got back we didn't leave the house, just lounged around and played in the back yard.
