Daddy took this pretty picture. You can see the steeple of St. Anne's rising up above the rooftops.
This is the Little Stone Church. We worshipped there on Sunday morning. Every year the congregation of this church gives a generous scholarship to one of the Mackinac Island school's graduates. They fund the program through funds collected from the many weddings they host each year. It costs $2000 for a 20 minute ceremony at this quaint church which was built in the late 1800's.
This is the parsonage where the minister who serves at The Little Stone Church lives while he's on the Island in the summer. I'm not sure where he goes on winter vacation but it sounds like a nice job to me...preach only 6 months a year. Maybe Grandpa can get a gig like that and then he can come to visit me more!
If you stay at The Grand Hotel then you can ride in this fancy carriage. It meets the ferries upon arrival and delivers guests to the hotel for check in. At the end of your stay it delivers you back to the dock. The drivers are rather snoody and if you smile at them or wave they will just ignore you.
I have no idea why Mommy is making such a silly looking face but the background is Arch Rock.
This house sits right off the green of Marquette Park. Mommy thought the trees and the fog made a beautiful backdrop.
St. Anne's Catholic Church is one of 4 churches on Mackinac Island.
This is the lookout tower at Fort Mackinac.
The statue of Father Marquette is a funny one because the artist used his own face. Apparently nobody knew what Father Marquette looked like at the time that the statue was made.
When we came back to Michigan's mainland we rode on the top of the boat where the wind could blow on us. It was fun but very sunny! All day long there had been mist in the air and it was hard to see because the clouds touched the ground but as soon as we were back on the open water it was clear. Mommy looked back to see the island but it was completely hidden in the fog.
