Mackinaw Island

Hey everybody, Cool Breezes here. Just wanted to add a little something to warm

you up. So thought I would add this Palm Tree to make you feel like your where it is very warm. Well did it work?? Didnt think so.

But wanted to write a little more on Mackinaw Island. This is one of my favorite places to go. In the summer I love taking the ferry across to the island. There are a couple different ferries you can go on. They all cost the same so it doesnt matter which one you take.

I mean when you step off the ferry, its like your transformed into being in a victorian town. You can spell fudge everywhere. Your mouth just waters up and the first thing you want to do is get you some fudge. Even though your waist line tells you no, you go do it anyway.

You can go up to Fort Mackinac where you can tour some of the islands history of the fort. I mean this thing is like 200 years old. Wow!!

Then there is the Mackinaw island butterfly house. Which is just amazing. The kids will just go nuts in here. Course I loved it just as well. But I believe there are over 500 different butterflys!

Yikes!!

Then you can take a carriage tour. You can take a one hour tour or a 45 minite tour. Then of course you have to watch out when the horses do their thing. lol But it is just a ball.

Then if you want to shop. Well now let me tell ya, hang onto your hat. Shops galore. There is Kilwins Fudge. They call the tourest fudgies cause no one leaves the island without fudge!!

Now where would you like to stay?? Well let me tell ya, they have got historic Inns to full service resorts. Bed and breakfast homes to cabins or cottages. What ever your need are, I think they can help you out.

So please check it out and I know you will not regret it. If you do get there sometime, let me know and leave a comment. I would like to leave a couple more videos of Mackinaw Island, Because it will tell the story much better than I. So please do enjoy!!

Mackinac Island Winter Fest

Hey cool Breezes here. I hope all of you had a great weekend and enjoyed getting out and letting the cold breezes of west Michigan hit your face. Also that you were able to get out and enjoy all the festivals going on.
Well coming up on Febuary 1st on Mackinac Island they are having a winter fest. Never been there in the winter? Well you should check this out if you want to do something different. I mean its not like being there in the summer thats for sure. I mean in the summer you got biking, roller blading, hiking and all kinds of things going on.
Now in the winter its different for sure.Cross-country sking, snowshoeing, and some hiking going on. BUT this comeing weekend, there will be a good time had by all that come. At Great Turtle Park there will be snow vollyball, frozen fish toss, hum wonder what that is like. Golf, yes I said golf, and a great bonfire to roast hotdogs.
Oh and dont forget football!!! Yes there will be a superbowl party at Patrick Sinclairs Irish Pub, with plenty to drink and lots of food. I mean what more could you ask for. There are lots of places to stay, but you better call ahead of time to get a place. I would call the Mackinaw Island tourism bureau at (800) 454-5227. Great Lakes Air (906)-643-7165 provides service from St Ignace, Traverse City, and Pellston to the Island.
So I hope this has helped you in getting rid of the cabin fever. I tell ya, you just got to get out and let those cool breezes blow on your face and makes those cheeks rosy red. But have a great time.

Cool Breezes here

Hey everybody,cool breezes here. Yes I mean it is cool for sure. Again its -3 and we are suppose to get to a high of 27 I think. Hey maybe we can go to the beach and have a pic a nic!! lol Well anyway wanted to say sorry for not having a comment link at the bottom of the post. Will have to figure out whats going on with that. Still very new at this.



But if your not doing anything this weekend, head out to Cadillac MI. The noth American Snow fest is going on. Now make sure you bundle up. Its Jan 24 to the 27. There are suppose to be over 10,000 sleds on Lake Cadillac and Lake Mitchell. Also a Grudge race. OH that should be interesting. Pond Hockey, Ice Sculptures, and Kid races.



So if your just laying around with nothing to do. Head on out to Cadillac and check it out.



Also there is the Rolling Centuries Winter Festival in Traverse City MI. It is on Janauary 26, o8 of course. But if you just want to have a day of fun in the cold, there is horse drawn wagon rides, lots of food, and just for you people that like to be romantic. There is a candlelite snowshoe hike thru the woods. Burr, not sure if thats one for me. I think I would rather sit by a nice roaring fire!! But anyway check it out.
