Vacation Day 2 - Mackinac and Arrival in Marquette

We got an earlier start on day 2.  We drove up to Mackinac and took the ferry over to Macinac Island to go for a bike ride and eat lunch.  Greta had fun on the 5 mile ride around the island.  Only problem was the 5 mile ride was almost 9  miles, so she didn't have as much fun on the last mile or so :)  But it was her first time in a bike trailer, and while I don't think she loved it, I think she had some fun... It was also her first time on a boat, in this case a passenger ferry.    

Mackinac is a great spot.  The entire island is car-free, but there are lots of roads, so it's amazingly bike friendly.  Well worth a trip if you ever get the chance... even with the $25/person roundtrip ferry ride.  

The drive across the bridge and up into the UP was amazing as well.  It's just hard to believe just how big those Great Lakes are.
