I had so much fun this week chaperoning my son‘s fourth grade field trip to Mackinac Island! This is one of my favorite places in Michigan and we love coming here with the kids! 

We had so much fun exploring the island on bikes and popping into some of the local stores and attractions. My favorite part was the one on one time I got to spend with Jack! It’s a day we will both remember!
