Mackinac Island

Before going to Mackinac Island we spent some time on Sunday July 15th at the Village which is several unique shops in a building which was a hospital.  On Monday July16th we visited the town of Kingsley, MI which was founded by our great great grandfather Judson Kingsley who was the first postmaster.

On Tuesday July 17th we all drove from Traverse City to Mackinaw City for the ferry to Mackinac Island.  We started with the carriage ride from town seeing many of the interesting sights on the island.  We stopped at the fort had a nice lunch overlooking Lake Huron.  We also sampled their famous fudge before we took the ferry back to Mackinaw City.  We had dinner at the Depot restaurant which used to be the train depot where our grandfather delivered and picked up mail on the train.
