Mackinac Island

Mackinac Bridge -- ranks up there as one of the largest suspension bridges in world -- I picked up a few facts on the tour.  

Grand Hotel -- member of Historic Hotels of America, apparently has the longest front porch in the world at 660 feet.  When it first opened, cost was $3-5 per night -- rates have since experienced a slight bump upwards.  

Took a trip "up north" as they say here in MI, spent a few days in Mackinaw City -- most of the pics above are from a day trip we took to Mackinac Island.  I didn't realize the island was such a tourist attraction, people all over the world were visiting.  No cars allowed on island, need to walk, bike or take horse to get places -- we ended up taking a 2 hour horse ride tour to see good portion of the island.
