Well, I finally figured out the correct way to post a
slideshow on my blog using my Mackinac Island pictures. I won't admit how long it took me either. I had no problems in the past with
Flickr, but decided to use
Photobucket this time. Glad I did too.
Last week several of my children and I went to Mackinac Island in Michigan. I absolutely love to spend time by water! We had wonderful weather as you can see and a great time. Working in both an academic and a public library, I couldn't help but visit the
Mackinac Island Public Library which is small but very nice. It is a great little library, wonderful building and beautiful grounds facing the lake. I imagined myself curled up on one of the
Adirondack chairs looking out at the lake right outside one of the library doors. I felt a light breeze and the warm sunshine on my face. I have some of my genealogy notes in my lap just waiting to be reviewed.....oh wait, that's right...I was DREAMING....back to life....
We took the bikes around the island which is always fun. I didn't really enjoy the climb to Arch Rock but once there the view is outstanding. There must have been over two hundred steps to get to the top and with bad knees, I couldn't wait to get back to the bikes! The trail around the island is about eight miles, so it doesn't really take too long. There are plenty of spots to stop and rest and relax and perhaps take a little dip in the water. Be prepared the water is a bit chilly!
Of course, my favorite part was visiting the fudge companies. I couldn't walk out of
Murdick's Fudge without buying about three pounds of delicious, creamy and oh, so fattening (like I really cared!) fudge. So, all in all it was a great trip.
Now, where did I put the rest of that fudge?
