Mackinaw City Getaway






Kevin and I finally had a chance to get a way for a weekend so we headed to Mackinaw City. I have always loved going there. It's fun just walking to everywhere.
We did some metal detecting (found a few coins but no diamond ring---rats!) Anyway, it was fun walking the beaches, the souvenir shops, looking at the beauty of the island and Mackinaw Bridge. We went to the Mill Creek Historical Park and walked a couple trails there, seen some history, and Kevin got the chance to ride a zipline. Following this you will see a video of that.
On Friday evening a terrible stormed rolled in that only lasted a few minutes but it was quite intense so I put a picture of it with a video also. Then a few minutes later the sun came out and we had a beautiful evening that came out with a double rainbow. It was so vivid. It actually looked like a sphere instead of a rainbow. It was awesome!
The evening ended with a laser show right in the heart of Mackinaw City Crossings Mall. Always enjoyable.
On Saturday we had a family reunion to go to and it was a beautiful day for that. We had to travel about an hour away for that but the park, food and fun was worth it. Always good to see family that you only see once a year.
It was a good time for Kevin and I and really wasn't ready for it to be over.
