and to continue the recap of our adventure up to mackinac island, almost a month later, we started out by staying in mackinaw city at a hotel on the lake. that night we drove across the mackinaw bridge, just for the experience of driving over and going to the upper peninsula, and then we came back for dinner at a local place and some shopping. the next morning we got up early and took the first ferry ride over to the island. i love going to mackinac island. one of these days im going to rent a bike to ride around all day because i know that i would get to see a lot more! we walked through a lot of the shops downtown, walked to the Grand Hotel (side note: this hotel is literally "grand". its huge, and also very private. unless you are a guest of the hotel, you are not even allowed to walk up to the porch with the exception of those who pay a fee of $10! there is also a dress code of "evening wear" after 6:30 pm for those who stay at the hotel. I actually appreciate these "rules" at the hotel, although i do wish to get a peek inside each time i'm on the island, i like that the Grand Hotel is keeping it classy.
