Last week my sister, mom, dad and I went to Michigan to go to Mackinac Island. It was a beautiful trip so I thought I would share some pictures. We traveled a bit more than half way on the first day and stayed right on the border of Wisconsin and Michigan the first night in Marionette WI. I knew we were staying there so I went on the web to see if I could find any prim stores there and I hit the jackpot. I found the shop called 1896 Homestead Shoppe, LLC. I messaged her on FB to see what her hours were on Friday and she messaged me back that they were open until 5, we pulled into town at 5:30 and it was the first place we went. My mom, sister and I went in and of course bought some things. Here are just two pictures I took of her cute Halloween/Fall things. Very cute store.

Cindi, My sisters in laws live in Alpena MI, so she drives that bridge frequently. She's been married for over 15 years and I have never actually seen a picture! So seeing yours was really neat! She actually was there last week too! Maybe you passed each other on the bridge, lol!! Katie
Wonderful photos, Cindi! You surely did have a great trip and a visit to a lovely prim store!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Best wishes

What a lovely vacation. You have some beautiful pictures of the ocean. The Grand Hotel is maginficent. I first saw it in the movie "Somewhere in Time". BTW, it's a really great show:) I hope to be able to show my children some lighthouses in Oregon next month. How fun to visit such a cute little shop. I am so ready for fall. Have a great week. -Steph-

Hi Cindi! Gorgeous pictures! Thank you for sharing them! I remember a program on TV last year about this area and how beautiful it was. There is something so special about vacationing near the water. Sounds like you had a great time with everyone!--Jan
very pretty pics!
Hi Cindi,
How Fun!! My husband's folks live in Michigan and I have always wanted to go to Mackinac Island. But never seems to be enough time.
His sisters live in Boyne so that is were we head.
Love all the lighthouses!
Glad you had a fun trip.
Enjoy your day,
Barb
Hi Cindi,
I love lighthouses too. On our 25th anniversary, we went to Michigan and did a light house tour. We also went to Mackinac Island and I loved it. Hope to go back there someday. My daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids spent a week on the island about 3 weeks ago.
Sounds and looks like you had a great time.
blessings,
Cindy
