Fall Break: Part 2

We spent the majority of Tuesday, November 13 on Mackinac Island.  It was a fun day.  We started with a ferry ride out to the island.  On the island we took a tour by horse drawn carriage (motorized vehicles are banned), explored Fort Mackinac, and bought some famous Mackinac fudge.

Our horses were Jumbo, and Don.  They did a great job getting us up hills.

Our drive to our next destination took us past a couple of lighthouses that we stopped to take a quick look.

Along with the lighthouses came beautiful Lake Michigan.  The drive also took us into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which has few people but gorgeous scenery.
