After all the excitement last week, we decided it was time to get away for a little while. We'd been wanting to get to Mackinac Island before we move out of Michigan and this was a good time to do just that.
We took the ferry across to the island in the morning. It was a little chilly up top on the boat, but was pretty exciting, too.
We packed up some bikes we borrowed and the burley so we could ride around the island. The weather was gorgeous for our 8 mile trek.
We made plenty of stops along the way--to play on the rocky beaches, take lots of pictures, eat lunch....
...and do a little geocaching.
After our bike ride, we had a little snack, walked around to see some of the sights, and get some of their famous fudge. YUM!
After we got back from our trip to the island, we decided that as long as we were here, we'd better drive across the bridge, too.
Our next day was filled with more geocaching in the area before we headed to Petosky State Park.
Anna wanted to play on the playground equipment before heading for the beach.
She loved playing in the sand, throwing and collecting rocks, and studying bugs on the beach.
Matt spent most of his time at the beach doing his own rock collecting.
Here's the collection of (mostly) petosky stones he found. We feel relaxed and refreshed after a little time away.
