Dreaming about Mackinac Island in the Michigan U.P. today! While one side of the island consists of hotels, bed-and-breakfasts, fudge shops, souvenier shops, a French fort, and absolutely beautiful homes, the other side is practically deserted except for a rocky beach that's great for stone skipping! No cars are allowed on the island - only pedestrians, bikes, horses, and horse-drawn carriages. You can rent bikes and horses, and the horse-drawn carriages are for hire. You'll have to take a ferry over to the island and back. You can buy tickets for it in Mackninac City. Don't forget to visit Alice's while you're in the city (great caramels and caramel corn!).
Pictures (l. to r.): My son skipping stone on the island's rocky beach, Fort Mackinac, and the view from the porch of the Grand Hotel on the island of the swimming pool Esther Williams used in a movie ("Somewhere in Time? Can't remember the movie's name...).
