Memorial weekend 2015 at Mackinac Island

Ok this is obviously really old, but I couldn't help but making a post because it was a fun two days.  Jordan, Jamie and Logan were living in Michigan for the summer so we decided to join them and head up to Mackinac Island for the weekend-ish.  Adam had just started living with us at the time so we invited him to come along as well.  All 7 of us squished into the Traverse that Jordan was borrowing from GM.  To say the least it was very squishy haha.  It was a 4 hour drive and we got to our hotel at 11pm, yuck.  The kids did pretty darn good but Heidi was so ready to sleep in her bed instead of the carseat.  The next day we got up to catch the first ferry ride over which takes a short detour for no extra cost just so we could go under Mackinaw Bridge.  It was awesome, but very windy and we were sitting on the wrong side of the boat for the overspray.  Chase ended up getting super wet because he didn't try to run away like the rest of us. Once on the Island we just walked around and enjoyed ourselves.  After lunch the Clines rented bikes and we decided to just keep exploring on our feet.  We couldn't really do any hiking of sorts because we had the stroller but luckily there are enough roads that we were able to explore.  Mackinac Island doesn't allow any vehicles so if you want to get around you have to walk, ride a bike, or ride in a horse drawn carriage.  It's pretty awesome.  Once we all met back up we had to find the perfect fudge shop before we could catch our ferry back to the mainland.  Unfortunately on the ferry ride Jamie realized that they had left their fudge on the grass and they only had two delicious bites.  We gave them some of ours the following Day at church because we just couldn't let them go without.  Anyway once we got back to the car we headed for home.  It again was a long drive and day and by the end Logan had had enough which made Heidi cry as well.  Good thing we all survived :) and had a fun day exploring.
