Vacation~ Mackinaw City

Make a Smilebox slideshow

We went up to Mackinaw City and then did a day trip to the UP one day. We were gone for 4 days and we had a wonderful time. The weather could not have been any better for us. I found a WONDERFUL hotel that we will stay at every time we go up now. Logan even said it was his favorite hotel ever and if we go back he wants to stay there again. If you plan to visit the area I really suggest this place, fairly inexpensive, free hot breakfast, waterpark, on the beach with a balcony that overlooks Mackinac Island and the bridge, heaven :0)

We met some really nice people and Logan made some new friends like he always does. We did not go to the island this year, not much to do for Logan yet and there was plenty to do in the city. We had plans to go here but Logan was not tall enough to do anything yet. You have to be 48 inches and he is only 44. We will go back in a few years to do all they have to offer.

We traveled to the UP one day and hit the Mystery Spot, Castle Rock and a Deer Ranch. All places were a lot of fun for all of us. I couldn't do the Mystery Spot because it made me really dizzy, it really through my balance off. The guys did it and they both thought it was really cool. I did the first room and had to leave with another lady. the climb to Castle Rock was definitely a work out so we took a short break on the way up :0) The deer ranch was fun also but I felt bad for the deer not being able to run free but they have a good life of Carrots and Crackers all day from us tourist:0) Being able to pet a deer was very cool, I thought the white ones were more soft but the owner told me that they are the same. I am still not sure if I agree with him :0)

Any ways, we had a great trip and I can't wait to go back in a few years to do the Zip line :0) Now the grind starts. We have Logan's Preschool open house tomorrow night for us parents, then on Monday morning him and I go together for his meet the teacher for an hour and then he will start going on Wednesday the 16th by himself. He is going to go 3 days a week for 3 hours and he is pretty excited about it. I am excited to have a few hours a weeks to get things done without dragging the poor guy on my errands.
