Marvelous Mackinac Memories

Thanks to Melissa Mackey for sharing her story about her trip up north with her husband and teenage twins! Check out the end of the post to see the beautiful pictures she took!

This summer, instead of taking one long vacation like we usually do, my husband and I decided to take our 13 year old boy/girl twins to Northern Michigan for a long 4^th of July weekend. We decided to stay in Mackinaw City and take day trips from there to Mackinac Island and the Pictured Rocks in the UP. My husband and I had been to both places before, but the kids hadn’t, so they were psyched.
