Continuing our countdown of my dream family vacations, we hit #2 on the list…

Mackinac Island

No cars. No chain hotels. Transportation by horse & buggy or bike or your own two feet only.

Beautiful scenery.

Simple quiet.

Good restaurants and nightlife.

Honestly, what isn’t there to like about this quiet little island on Lake Huron?

I first heard about it in high school and though I’ve only seen mention here and there since, it stuck with me through moves to other states and back to where Mackinac Island is close enough to drive to (not literally, have to take a boat there, but you know what I mean).

It seems like the idea place to head for a simple, fun-filled vacation.

Have you ever been to Mackinac Island? What was your favorite part?
