Scott and I spent a couple of nights earlier this week on Mackinac Island in Michigan with Rich and Sue Allen, friends who live in Shanghai. We've always wanted to get there since Todd Thomas introduced us to the old movie, "Somewhere in Time", that was filmed there. We thought of you often as we toured the Grand Hotel, Todd!
On the ferry heading to Mackinac... Mackinac Bridge in the background.
The Bay View Inn, the bed and breakfast where we stayed.
View from the second story porch at the Bay View Inn.
The famous porch on the front of the Grand Hotel... longest in the world, at 660 feet!
There are no cars on Mackinac, so horses are the main mode of transportation, along with bicycles. This three horse team pulled a tourist wagon around the island to historic points of interest.
Scott, Sue and Rich in front of just another beautiful home and garden... both seem to abound on Mackinac Island.

the little woodland path is so very beckoning! Seems like a scene from heaven!
Looks like a wonderful get-a-way! Hope you enjoyed every minute of it!!
How beautiful and charming it looks. Some of the photos remind me of eastern LI, too.
I will add here that the evil side of Rebecca is more than a little put out that you would enjoy a vacation With People Who Live In Shanghai and Whom, Presumably, You Get To See All The Time. Sorry to say it, but There It Is.
oh how beautiful!
I love your pictures and it is also fun to see Rich and Sue. I think we should schedule a get away for when you guys come back from Shanghai. Are you going to stay one more year or three more?
I am hoping to maybe go visit you and Lisa next year. That would be so much fun.
Te extrano mucho. :-) (This is a bit of homework for you)
