Home again from our trip and what a homecoming. Aspen...well, let's just say she left her mark. What a mess! Other than that, the trip was fun as we hadn't been there in ages. Was a lot cooler than down here in Canton. Yesterday afternoon it was 87º in Canton and only 54º at Mackinac Island. I had to buy myself a sweatshirt as we had gone on a carriage tour in the morning and it was cold! Didn't think there would be such a difference in the temperatures. We had lunch yesterday at the Grand Hotel. Had heard so much about it and how grand it all was that I was a bit disappointed. Really only one meat...beef...which I have to say was excellent. But not that many items to choose from...except for at the dessert table. The dinning room holds 1,000 people and it was crowded. They told us that the luncheon buffet is served every day. Cost is $45.00 and that includes the $15.00 to get into the hotel. Still....it was great to see and to be there. It is very "grand"...just wish we had more time to explore the hotel. Took lots of pictures but one that I really would have liked to have and didn't get was one with the Grand Hotel trotter horses and carriage. Geeh....it was soooo neat to see that but went by to quickly for me to get a picture. It was a fancier, smaller carriage with the driver in his top hat and red coat but, the two trotter horses were something to see. They were so magnificent looking with their white plumes and their fancy trot in unison....beautiful. Wouldn't mind going back again sometime.
So....have all these pictures and will just have to start on some scrapbook pages.
