Day Trip to Mackinac Island

Yesterday after a short 20 minute boat ride with bikes along we arrived at Mackinac Island. It was like stepping into a whole new world. No cars, just horses and bicycles or feet for transportation. 
Downtown on Bicycle Steet is a very busy tourist area, one t-shirt shop or fudge shop after another. 
Very colorful. 
It was not all bustling, here are some rural pics:
We road the 8 mile paved road around the whole island. The Arch Rock is one of the scenic stops. 
As seen from above and below respectively. 
It was a nice place to get some exercise.
 One of the gems of the island is the Grand Hotel with the longest porch in the world. So they say, I'm not fact checking them. They charge $10 each just to look around the porch and lobby. So we opted for a treat instead from the ice cream parlor. 
A yummy reward for the ride up the hill. 
So another fun day was had in this "Thready" life I lead. 
We are getting a couple chores done this morning. Got the oil changed on the truck and a wash. 
Here is the camper offloaded. I am staying here writing this post and quilting while Dan does the chores. Oh, I did vacuum- that should count as a chore. 
Today we leave the UP. I wonder what our next adventure will be.
