Mackinac Island Here We Come!

The next morning, we jumped on our bikes and headed down to the harbor to catch the ferry over to Mackinac Island. The rain had stopped and there seemed to be a clearing of the sky, ie perfect biking weather.
Our first stop was the rock and we had a beautiful view of the lakes and the bridge from one of the highest points on the island. It was good we started our biking by heading uphill because then it was downhill for the rest of the day.
Since it was our anniversary, we decided to celebrate with a large ice cream extravaganza before lunch. This energized us for a bit more exploring and we biked around the entire island, all 8 miles of it. One on shore we stopped and built a cairn, a set of rocks as a memory of being there. Another stop was seeing the hole in the rock from below, that we had previously seen from above.
Once back in the little center, we explored the stores and found tasty take-out lunches that were consumed in the park, surrounded by visitors, artists, and locals alike.
We boarded the ferry back, a bit tired but satisfied with a fantastic day on this beautiful island.
