Pictures from Mackinac, MI

Sorry for the delay! Here's the choice pics from our trip to the Tri-Harbor (St. Ignace, Mackinac Island, Mackinaw City) area of Michigan.

This is pretty much how Quin's trip started.

We stopped for lunch on our second day at a wooded picnic/camping area and enjoyed some time playing in the park. This slide was old - I can't believe I climbed it with Quin in my arms!

OK, click open this picture and zoom in on the "plates" we're using. If you look closely, you'll see that they are actually Super 8 hotel stationary (we forgot napkins).

I kid you not, the highlight of the trip for Quin was all the neat places to pick up 2 t0 3 rocks in each hand. This gravel road in the park was like paradise.

Mommy and her Burger King.

After our trip to Burger King we returned to our hotel to find the electricity was out. A car had crashed into a transformer and blew out power to about seven blocks of St. Ignace including our hotel. Quin kept himself entertained trying to walk in my sandals.

We rode the Star Line Ferry to Mackinac Island. Quin really enjoyed the ride.

Michelle fell in love with this very old church on the island. It really was gorgeous.

Island life makes a guy tired.

Our only family shot was a beauty with Lake Huron in the background.

Tree's roots were growing through the rock - very neat up close.

Try to keep up, Daddy!

Chillin' at the beach.

Thankfully he did not have a Coppertone Baby incident.

Chelle got a great shot of Quin's footprint in the sand. Precious!

On our day in Mackinaw City, we visited Colonial Michilimachinac (think Fort Snelling if you live in Minnesota only right on the Great Lakes shore line). I got a chance to try out the colonial latrines.

Quin thought about joining up with the Red-Coats, but their hats didn't fit.

You really have no idea how huge this thing is until you're actually on it. It's beyond massive and rather intimidating.

Would you honestly buy insurance from a guy who goes by the name, "Cheeseman?" If you lived in St. Ignace you might!

On the ride home Quin needed a blanket and a towel to get some peace & quiet.

This was what most of the ride home was like - nearly perfect.

Husband and wife on the road. This is seriously the only picture of the two of us we got - haha!
