Michigan-Day 2-Mackinaw Island

After a good nights sleep we made our way to Mackinaw Island via the ferry!  SO fun and SO beautiful.  It was by far the whole families FAVORITE day!

After the bike ride and lunch we headed to the Butterfly house to check out all the pretty butterflies!

And Gecko's!

Mackinaw Island has 16 fudge shops so we had to try some out.  It was good but I'd rather have ice cream!  We had a beautiful day to tour the island.  We all loved that there were no cars, just horses and bikes.  Definitely a different feel to things, more layed back, just easy.

After dessert we had just enough time to catch the last tour of the day at the Fort Mackinaw.  There was a kid tour in which the kids got to experience what it was like to be a kid back when the fort was in full commission.  The tour guide did a great job keeping the kids interest and letting them be hands on.  It was very interesting and I was very grateful I was not born in the time era!

It was a fun filled day and we were ready to head back for a nice dinner.  Luckily we didn't miss the last ferry of the day going back to Mackinaw City.
