![]() The trip gave me a big hit of creative juices. I have four other posts in development as well on maintaining fitness habits on vacation, turning family trips into learning opportunities, travelling on a budget, and a where to go/what to see post about Mackinac Island itself. That being said, I was really itching to get on here to stay connected with all of you and give you some updates on our fabulous trip to Mackinac Island. ![]() I think my poor overworked eyes and brains enjoyed the break. Seriously, the only phone call I even made was handed over to Peanut so he could talk to his grandma. But this week, I was completely unplugged. I have not been on the computer in an entire week! Usually, my job has me tied to a computer for 8 hours, and sometimes when I return home I might spend another hour or so online with blog posts, etc. Your house had to be immaculate and you were required to take scrupulous notes about everything from the grounds to the weather to transportation reports. It was a pretty lucrative career back in the day, but also highly particular. It's neat to see how the lighthouse guardians lived. The Old Mackinac Lighthouse right by the bridge in Mackinaw City costs and comes with a guided tour, but there are a few just down the road that are free and self-guided. ![]() Some are only retained for historical value while others are still in use. Shipwrecks are pretty notorious in the area, so towering beacons abound. Since the Mackinaw straits are narrow and freckled with islands, lighthouses are pretty essential for water travel. From my experience, these are some of the highlights of the area that you should definitely try:ฤก. A few days ago, I offered some insider peeks into our trip to Mackinaw City/Mackinac Island, and I thought it would be great to follow up the post with a virtual itinerary if you happen to travel there.
