Very beautiful pictures! I love all the homes and the pictures of the boats!
My parents took my sister and I there when we went to meet family in Michigan once. We toured part of the island saw lots of areas in Michigan while we were there. Did you go to the fort there? Can't remember the name though.. definitely brings back a few memories!
Awesome pictures though!!

The fort on the island is Fort Mackinac. The fort in Mackinac City is Fort Michilemackinac.

I went to the fort when I went there in high school and once in 1995 when I took my daughters there, but not this time.

Ah, thank you! I couldn't remember the names LOL. My dad was born in Menominee (not sure if you know where that is..near a Wisconsin border) Michigan. They would spend the summers in Menominee and the other seasons up in Houghton while his dad went to college.. He became a chemical engineer. After that they moved around..Chicago then New York. He spent most of his later childhood and teens in Western NY. That's where he met my mom. It's also where they settled.

Oh boy. I was experimenting with the edit features, trying to make the top of the picture even with the horizon. I guess 'skew' wasn't the feature I was looking for. If I had hit that button one more time, I think those guys would have fallen off their boat.

I think the yellow and white tent in the background is where the Chicago Yacht Club guys sit to set off a cannon every time someone crosses the finish line, which I believe was in front of the Round Island Lighthouse.
