Day 2 on the Island...

While Chris and the girls took off on bikes this morning to tour the island, my walking cast and I took up residence in on the front lawn of Mission Point resort.

2 hours of complete and utter silence.
Pure HEAVEN!

Such beautiful water

While on the island, the girls robbed a bank.
Gotta love Josie's serious face.


I swear I'm bringing home one of these chairs.

Such gorgeous views of Lake Huron


We've had a splendid time on Mackinac Island. We're leaving tomorrow and heading to the Upper Peninsula. More fun awaits.

XOXO

Day 1 on the Island...

So far, Mackinac island has been just as magical as I remembered four years ago. We are so spoiled to only live 4 hours away. I've included a few highlights from day one.

This is where I'll be sitting with my walking cast
while my family bikes around the island Monday morning.

Be prepared for lots of flower pictures.
The flowers are just gorgeous on the island.

The last time we came to the island, we were a family of three.
It's been so much fun sharing this beautiful destination with my 2 girls.

XOXO

Island Bound...

In a few days, we're taking our last vacation of the summer and heading to Mackinac Island for a few days and then traveling into Michigan's Upper Peninsula.


It will be Josie's first time traveling via ferry boat and enjoying all the adventures that come with this beautiful island.

If you aren't familiar with this destination, one of the most notable distinctions is that motor vehicles are strictly prohibited on the island. The island is filled with bicycles and horse-drawn carriages.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures taken four years ago, when we last visited the island.


We stayed at the Metivier Inn and the flowers were just breath-taking.

Prior to Josie's adoption, it was one of our favorite vacation destinations and we're excited to share this special tradition with her. This time, we'll be staying at the Mission Point Resort and taking advantage of their special activities.

We're looking forward to soaking up the last bit of summer.

I'm taking my laptop along, but I'm not sure how much time I'll be on the computer. With my foot in a walking cast, it might be more than I originally planned. Don't have too much fun without me.

XOXO
