A Quick Mackinac Update

Well, we wanted to post some pics for you but the picture upload is taking much longer than it should. So, we'll give you a verbal update. We arrived in St. Ignace on Monday evening. We unloaded the car and headed out for dinner where Quin entertained the other guests of Burger King (picture to come later). Upon returning to our hotel we found that we had no power in our room; apparently a car crashed into a transformer and knocked out power to nearly 6 blocks. Still, without power we were able to swim at the hotel pool and afterwards Quin kept himself entertained by trying to walk around in my sandals (pic to come later). Power eventually returned in time to go to bed.

Tuesday, we headed out by ferry liner (picture to come later) to Mackinac Island. If you've never been there you have to, it's absolutely gorgeous. No cars are allowed on the island so you have to get around by foot, bike or horse carriage. Quin took his first dip in a Great Lake (picture to come later). He found the waters of Lake Huron enjoyable but chilly (video to come later). He did, in all the excitement, manage two island naps (pic to come later). After a full day we headed back where as I type we are sitting in the dark trying to be as quiet as possible so as not to wake Shortround up. He had a bit of a rough night last night because he had a couple teeth come through - so we're being extra quiet. So, to all those who have told us that we are on vacation and shouldn't be on the internet, try sharing a hotel room with a 1-year old who goes to bed at 8pm! Oh, and if you didn't catch on, we'll be posting pics & videos later :)
