Thanks for posting the Link Kid... Most of my pics where of the wedding and boring stuff (LOL)

You need to get out and explore !!! Lots of neat stuff out there

 

Oh, wow, that looks strikingly similar to a place in France I visited called Annecy. I've always said it was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Looks like a wonderful place to have a wedding. Cool. Congrats to the happy couple.

 

Nice pictures! Thanks for sharing them.

Useless trivia time....

In the late 19th century, Mackinac Island became a popular tourist attraction and summer colony. Much of the island has undergone extensive historical preservation and restoration; as a result, the entire island is listed as a National Historic Landmark. It is well known for its numerous cultural events; its wide variety of architectural styles, including the famous Victorian Grand Hotel; its fudge; and its ban on almost all motor vehicles. More than 80 percent of the island is preserved as Mackinac Island State Park.

 

`Alley, now you don't have to travel overseas to `Annecy,France... You can just drive up 2 Mackinac : ). I just visited there (on the web), and it's another beautiful area on planet earth (there are so many 4-Sure: )

I shall keep dream'in & looking 4ward to the oppurtunity to tavel the country.. Until then, I'm thankful to be connected to the web 4-Real...

Mike Rowe did an episode of Dirty Jobs from Mackinaw Island. Someday I have to get up there. It's only about 195 miles from me.

 

Ya I saw the dude that has to clean up after the horses (Yuck)

 

It's a beautiful place. I hope you enjoyed it!

 

My Social Director (a.k.a. The Wife) just informed me that we're taking her parents to the island when we visit MI next week. Cool! Well, cool that we're going to the island...
