Mackinac Island

Last weekend, my sister and I took a trip up to Mackinac Island. We had a great time camping, visiting Mackinaw City, and going over to the island. Enjoy the photos below!

We camped at Mill Creek Campground, which is a really nice place to stay. I say that mostly because the sites are pretty well-secluded and the bathrooms looked like they were just renovated. The tent went up pretty easy, but we had some pretty bad thunderstorms Saturday night that made the tent leak!

Wolverine pride and strength!

This was one of our favorite parts from the trip: The Jack Pine Lumberjack Show. Two lumberjacks compete against each other to see who wins! It was so much fun to watch, and the host encourages cheering and booing to make it even more fun and interesting. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Mackinaw City area.

Mackinac Island .. before it got crazy busy in the afternoon.

My goofy sister on Market Street. Although, maybe she's not being goofy .. maybe she's cold because it was freezing on the island!

We took a nice stroll around the island (about eight miles total) that was a very pretty walk. We had to try not to get run over by the people that don't know how to ride bikes that rented them because they're on the island. Thankfully we got out with just two close calls. 

I hope you all had an amazing weekend too!

Vacation

Last week was spent sun loving (and hating after horrible sunburn) on vacation in Clearwater, Florida. It was a beautiful week, filled with beaches, water park, amusement park, and visiting towns in the area. And to be honest, one of the best parts about it was that I was so excited to come home at the end. I know, it's strange to not be loathing coming back, but being away made me so grateful for my home, friends and family, cats, and my job. I missed it all, but it was so great to have a mental break from everything. See photos below!
