Just got back from our vacation to Mackinac Island! We took 2 planes, a shuttle, a ferry then walked to get there. We stayed at Haans 1830 Inn on Huron Street which is an 8 minute walk from the ferry docks. I never been to the island, and we were there for the husband's family reunion. There are no cars allowed on the island and everyone bikes or takes a horse drawn carriage to get around. I felt very safe here for some reason. It felt like I was placed back in time where life was a bit more simple. Though I did still lock our hotel room every single time we left. The reunion offered a week full of activities and Matt and I went to some of them. We had dinner every night with the 150 or so family members, which all were very nice. But mostly we biked and walked around the island by ourselves. I didn't take a lot of photos nor bring my phone with me because I wanted to be in the moment and experience all that the island offered. But now I kinda of regret it. When we biked around the island, I noticed the water was so clear and beautiful. I wish I had my camera to capture it. In addition to biking we also went swimming in cold Lake Huron 3 times. Matt told me the waters around the island was cold, so he bought me a wet suit. He is the best! Though I didn't wear it, I did go swimming and really embraced the cold water. Lakes are beginning to grow on me. There is no sand, no waves and no creatures that can harm/kill you like the beach can! Since we walked around a lot, I noticed Mackinac has really nice flowers all around the inns, bnbs and hotels. This is a Allium flower and reminded me of a bigger version of a dandelion. I hope to return to Mackinac Island again since it was so nice and relaxing, though I wish it was warmer. Next time I want to stay at Mission Point Resort. Matt and I swam there, played cards, drank/ate there and walked around their huge lawn so I know it is going to be amazing if we slept there as well.
