Today was a day we’ve been looking forward to for a long time! We ventured out to Mackinac Island by ferry. This island is so unique as there are no motorized vehicles allowed so everyone gets around by bicycle or horse taxis. We just happened to land there during the Lilac Festival and were surprised by a parade upon arrival. That meant our carriage tour that we prepaid was not going to happen, but we made the best of it. And totally fell in love with this place!
Happy Father’s Day to this guy. While so many of our photos share our adventures, some of my most beautiful and cherished memories with him happen in this space. Him behind the wheel, us talking, laughing, dancing. We spend a lot of time sitting next to each other here and I never want to forget it. He’s my best friend and an incredible dad to our kids. And we are so blessed to have him.
The Mackinac Bridge, with Lake Huron on one side and Lake Michigan on the other, connects the upper peninsula to lower Michigan. I’ve lost count how many times we’ve driven over it already. But tonight was the most beautiful jump across we’ve had yet. Tomorrow, we get to go under it.
