Summer 2007: Mackinac Island & Mackinaw City












I became a Big Sister to Brittanie Kammers and wanted to take her on a summer vacation to Mackinac Island and Mackinaw City.    My mom, Brittanie, Maggie, and I went on the trip.  We got a cheap hotel in Mackinaw Island that took pets.       We went through the shops in Mackinac City the first day.  I drove all of us over the Mackinac Bridge to the Upper Peninsula so Brittanie could experience that.       

We had to leave Maggie in the room at the hotel when we went to Mackinac Island for the day.  Brittanie enjoyed taking the ferry over to the island. She was quite surprised when she got to the island and saw no automobiles.    We took one of the carriage rides around the island to get a tour.      I had taken my video camera along, so she enjoyed taking videos.

We had a wonderful lunch buffet at the Grand Hotel.   Brittanie was so fascinated by how fancy the hotel and dining room were.    We walked through the whole hotel, which is so beautiful.  We walked around the island and then through more shops. Then, we took the ferry back to Mackinaw City.   

Maggie enjoyed walking all around Mackinaw City.     I think we all had a good time on this vacation.
