Mackinac Island

Last Tuesday Jamaine and I went to Mackinac Island for vacation. The island is about 4 and a half hours away from Ann Arbor. A little island with no cars allowed, except for fire trucks, police car and ambulance. So everyone either had to ride the horse carriages or bicycles.

The island is famous for it's fudge. I'm not a big fan of fudge so each of us got only 1/4 lb of fudge and finished it while we were still on the island. I feel like my teeth were rotting from all the sweets.

So the first night we were there, we ate at a restaurant called Seabiscuit. Just like the movie, or the horse. Guess what movie they keep playing at the restaurant? SEABISCUIT of course.

On the second day, Jamaine and I wanted to jog around the island. Thank god I didn't have to fast that day coz otherwise I would just chill in the hotel. We saw the Arch Rock which was on a hill. Both Jamaine and I were scared of height but we made it up there anyway. After that, we took a trail that I believed would take us back to the main road. But it didn't. A couple of miles later, we saw some people biking on the trail and we asked them for directions. The people had maps, unlike us. We got back on the trail and walked back to the hotel. Altogether, I think we hiked/ jogged for more than 8 miles.

After a long nap that day, we rented a tandem, you know the two bikes attached together like siamese twins. We biked around the island which was about 7 miles. The view was gorgeous. We left the next day. I got a minor tan which seemed almost impossible in Ann Arbor now.
