Mackinac Island Vacation

We enjoyed our time at Mackinac Island. We stayed three nights and it was perfect! There are no cars or vehicles on the island and the only way to arrive is by ferry. I enjoyed seeing the UPS man all weekend on a horse-drawn carriage.


This was our 20 minute ferry ride over to the island.


Riding over to the island. You can see the bridge behind the kids that connects the Upper part of Michigan to the Lower part of Michigan.

The food at the hotel is amazing. We enjoyed all the meals and Sammy did as well! The kids participated in the kids programs while we were there and they were so well done. They got to go to the Island Library, private duck pin bowling and go to the owner of the hotel's private residence to play games.


This was our room. Every room is decorated differently.


So happy to have dinner alone! We had a hotel babysitter for the younger two and the older two played with the kids in the kids program.

They have a lot of fudge shops around town. One of the shops has a gumball machine that has special gumballs that get you a free slice of fudge. Of COURSE Sammy won.
