Mackinaw Island State Park 2007
Another trip to Mackinaw and a walk through the Mackinaw State Park with highlights like the Skull Cave, the old cemetery’s, and Arch Rock. We usually finish up with the state park by noon then go through the city which has many tourist attractions including a haunted house and several magic shops. Mary and I spent our honeymoon here so it always has a special meaning for us.
This year we found a plaque from the movie Somewhere in Time starring Christopher Reeve. The movie was filmed on Mackinaw Island at the Grand Hotel so if you want to see more of Mackinaw Island, rent the movie. Also if you enjoy time travel and science fiction in a non shoot em up way, rent the movie.
Mackinaw City 2007
Mackinaw City is really getting to be fun with all the shopping areas and fun places to go. There are magic shows in the Mackinaw Crossing shopping complex and also tourist trap stuff like the house of mirrors. A shoppers paradise for sure.
In the evening they have a laser show in the complex and if you time your stay right, fireworks over the lake on certain weekends. James has fun playing in the many assorted playgrounds all within walking distance of our hotel. He also enjoys walking on the beach but prefers the beach under the bridge since that is where all the rocks are that he likes to throw in the lake.
