Mackinaw Island Fudge

Mackinaw Island Fudge- Today we spent the day on Mackinaw Island and all the fudge stores were busy making fresh fudge of all flavors.
It was perfect weather with a nice breeze all day.
Horse and Buggy Accident on Mackinaw Island -We saw the worst horse and buggy accident we ever saw with one minor injury and one serious injury. A spooked horse took off down the road and slid the buggy sideways leaving 20 feet or so of black marks and then flinging the buggy over breaking the top roof off and wedging the buggy against a tree . We arrived the same time the ambulance did. Very sad.
We did do some great sightseeing later and Terak had a wonderful time running across the grassy fields . We found a cute outdoor cafe with food prices much higher than we pay in D.C. but your on Mackinaw Island and you got to figure that in to your fun. Just one day a year it makes it even more special . We enjoyed strolling around the Grand Hotel getting a few pictures.
We checked out the rocky beach and Terak enjoyed throwing stones in the water. We all stopped to get a little fudge or ice cream for the boatride back to Mackinaw City.
Terak did excellent all day and even got a 2 hour nap on the island.
We figured Wed. would be less crowds and we were right as you could walk in the shops and up and down main street with no crowds. Until next year we will have plenty of fun memories of Mackinaw Island.
Have a great Wed.
