Mackinac Island, Upper Michigan ~ A Must See!

Purple Star emoji 15 items
This was one of my all time favorite vacations!  The island is beautiful and the Grand Hotel is a must see!  It truly felt like a step back in time since no motor vehicles are permitted there, so the only mode of transportation was by walking, biking, or by horse drawn carriages.  It was magical!  Whether you are on the hunt for a romantic getaway or searching for a fun and wholesome family vacation, Mackinac Island delivers!
