A perfect fall trip

I think fall is a great time for a roadtrip. So, packed up family, packed the car, packed lots of good tunes and headed for Mackinaw island.  Imagine a pristine island locked in time in the mid-1700′s, quiet Victorian architecture, quaint cottages along the lakeshore and the company of 1600 partially supervised boyscouts.  Hoo-wee.

But, the ferry ride was great, and it was great weather for a bicycle ride all the way around the island. Skipping rocks out over the north channel of Lake Huron at a quiet spot along the ride was just perfect in the afternoon sun. But we saw the rainy weather working its way up to the Bridge. So back on the ferry ride to the hotel for some evening swimming.

Everyone had a great time and the fall colors were just starting to come out. I’m glad we had a chance to go clear out the cobwebs.
