Mackinac Island, Michigan **more pics pg2**

What nice photographs and description of your trip! Thank you.

I grew up in Michigan (Detroit area).. then lived on the East Coast for some 33 years. Came back to MI (Ann Arbor) in 2002. I've NEVER been to Mackinac Island.

When I was about 15 or 16 years old, my family took a vacation trip to the Upper Peninsula. This was shortly after the Mackinac Bridge had been opened, and it was a big thrill to be able to drive straight from the Lower Peninsula to the UP. We didn't have time to visit the island too, though.

The first night we stayed at a motel in St. Ignace (first UP town west off the bridge) and were treated to a display of Northern Lights that night. They weren't the colored kinds, just white light.. but still VERY thrilling.. not something you see around Detroit!

I took pictures with my Brownie box camera, and I think I still have those somewhere around. If I find them (rather blurry black & white photos) I'll post some!

Beautiful!
My sister-in-law lives in Michigan and she went there for her honeymoon. I'd like to go there sometime if/when we go to visit her.

We drove through St. Ignace but didn't spend any time there. Haha, you definitely don't get Northern Lights down here.

Please do, it'd be interesting to see how it's changed over the years!

Very very very awesome pictures!!! WOW!! I've been to MI once. I was in the Flint area. We visited Frankenmeuth(spelling?). I thought the state was absolutely beautiful. Your pictures certainly prove it gets even more beautiful than what I saw.
We left Florida and it was around 95 degrees in July. We arrived in Flint and it was almost cold and delightful. I would love to go back.

It looks like a wonderful trip. Thanks for sharing!!
