By Nathan — Mom, Viv, and I went to Mackinac Island with Nani early in the vacation. We drove about an hour to Mackinac City and got on a ferry to the island. After about a 45-minute ferry ride, we got to the island. Mom brought Viv and I’s bikes on her bike rack, so we could ride them around the island, and Mom and Nani rented bikes from the island.
When we started on the ride, we went through about a fourth of the city until we saw water. It was beautiful! After getting through the city, we were riding on a paved trail right along the shoreline of the island. We rode that same trail for a while, stopping occasionally to look at some of the natural landmarks and rock formations on the island.
The ride was about eight miles and took about two hours. When we got back to the city, we locked our bikes up and went to the “Pink Pony “, a popular restaurant on Mackinac. After we finished eating, we went to a Sanders store and got ice cream. By then it was time for us to go, so we got back on the ferry and left. I am glad I got to see Mackinac Island for the first time on this vacation, and I had a blast!
