Tuesday, 7/6/21, Went to the Mackinaw Bridge, & Petosky, Peyton and Isaac’s first time to see the bridge and ride over it.

Our day trip to Mackinaw City, over the bridge and to St. Ignace with Vikki, Peyton and Isaac

We all got ready and packed up to go to Mackinaw City.  Bill drove and did a great job other than making us a little nervous driving through the tunnel of trees.  We stopped in Gaylord to see the elk, but did get to see any.  The kids were super excited when they saw the Mackinaw Bridge and loved driving over it.  It was their first time seeing it and getting to go over it.  We drove through St. Ignace, stopped at an Indian shop where I got a really nice sweatshirt, then crossed back to lower Mi.  We shopped in Mackinaw City and Vikki found cool matching sweatshirts for Mykenzie, Peyton and Isaac.  We drove through the tunnel of trees which is always a beautiful drive.  Went to a campground by the hospital and we all walked along the water looking for Petosky stones and other pretty rocks. Lots of fun. We stopped at a Dairy Queen in Grayling for Blizzards.  Everyone working were wearing masks and no restrooms were open in the strip mall.  It poured for a while on the way back to the campground.  Kim and Mark Reminder came to our camper to visit while we were at Mackinaw City.  We were sorry to have missed them.
