Bay View - part 3 - Mackinaw Island

I haven't been to Mackinaw Island since I was a child, so I was thrilled to go and even more excited to show it to my kids.  An island that you have to reach by ferry, where there are no cars, lots of cool places to walk, and more fudge shops than you've ever seen in your life.

In view of the great Grand Hotel...

We made it! The cute little streets lined with bikes and fudge...

Climbing up Fort Mackinaw...

 

 There are men dressed up like soldiers of years' past who were stationed on this island. There are also demonstrations of the different rifles they used, and other military exercises.

 In an old jail cell...

 Lunch on the lawn...

 Watching them make fudge...
