Wednesday morning the kids and I took off for Mackinaw. We had a good trip north and checked in at our hotel in the early afternoon. The picture above is from our balcony. Jess and I hung out there and Jon went to the Fort. When he returned we drove across the bridge to St. Ignace for dinner. I have a favorite restaurant there that is worth the drive across the bridge, even though I don't like bridges. Jess did great at the restaurant because I asked them to put us as far away from people as they could. They happened to have a tiny room between the bar and one eating area with only 2 tables. No one ate there but us.
Yesterday morning Jon got up early, ate breakfast then took one of the boats to the island. He took a carriage ride, toured the fort, and ate at another favorite place of mine and had a piece of Tiramisu Bread Pudding. While Jon was on the island, Jess and I went shopping at Mackinaw Crossings Mall. She had a great time and enjoyed shopping, as you can see with her new princess pink cow girl hat. Just when we were ready to leave, Jon returned and we picked him up and went to the fort. Jess LOVES the fort and remembers that there was a church there and kept talking about Jesus. We had a pastie dinner then back to the hotel to rest and watch tv.
We ate breatkast, packed and left for Gaylord at 10:00 a.m. We toured the Call of the Wild Museum, which we've done many times before and Jess was very excited about it. Off next to see Grandma for a bit before we traveled home in the pouring rain. In all, we had a very good three days. I'll post more pictures each day of Jess and Jon this week.
