I’m belated in writing this post, the birthday wasn’t. The birthday was right on time. You know how I was dreaming of going back to Mackinac Island? Mission accomplished. And as luck would have it, the weather was perfect for flying. We saved about four hours of driving and a ferry ride. Oddly enough, the island doesn’t allow cars, but they have a quaint little airport. As it is northern Michigan, things freeze, and sometimes air travel is the best way on or off the island. Plus the views from the air were pretty spectacular. We stayed at the Metivier Inn, which I would definitely recommend. As usual, we ate, drank, and bicycled our way through the weekend. Below are a few of the hundreds of photos I took, and one special video.
Ryan has been creating videos from quite a few of his flights, and he was kind enough to make a compilation for this trip. The man knows how to pull off a birthday, I tell you what.
Photo of you getting into the plane is one of my favorites!
Wow, I’d love my fella to learn to fly. Very lucky lady. What a birthday!
Thanks, Rebecca! It’s been a fun (and a little scary) ride so far.
