The gardens are lush.
These window boxes are my inspiration for next summer.
We had a great trip to Mackinac Island today by boat, only a 16 minute trip. I picked up my first rock to add to Juliet's collection. The rock formations are really interesting. And the cairns people have built along the shore were fun to spot as we biked all the way around the Island - 8 miles with no cars or trucks. The only means of transportation allowed are bicycles and horse drawn carts and wagons. We saw everything being transported from the docks to the local hotels and B & B's and restaurants. We also saw the garbage pickup cart. I wonder if they send it off island for disposal?
Only 492 people live year round on the island. Their only means of escape in the winter when the lake freezes are snow machines. This really makes Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket seem very convenient and civilized. | 
I like that it is a car-less island! Sounds like you are off to a great start to your cross-country venture. Mom and Dad want to know is it Mackinac or Mackinaw Island (or are both right?).
