Much Quieter Day

Our grand adventure today consisted of a short drive north across the Mackinac Bridge to the little town of St. Ignace. We read about a lighthouse that had been moved from somewhere else to the docks at St. Ignace. A quick, easy drive, and we could get some nice pictures of the Wawatam Light:

We drove through the town and stopped at a small mall, but didn't see anything we couldn't live without. We headed back across the bridge one more time and continued on south to Cheboygan, which is about 14 miles south of Mackinaw City. We missed a lighthouse there when we were there a few days ago, and there's a super Walmart there as well.

We found the park where the Cheboygan Crib Light sits. This is another light that has been moved. The original light was out in the water. On the way to the light, we found this family of Canadian geese:

And we saw this large Coast Guard ship in the harbor:

And here's the little lighthouse:

We found the Walmart and got a few groceries. After our little shopping spree, we headed home with our goodies.

We got everything put away and decided to go into Mackinaw City for a late lunch and a look around at some of the shops we missed the first time we were there. I think we made the complete rounds of every shop in town, at least that's what it feels like! What did we buy? One little chunk of fudge!

Back home to relax for the evening. Tomorrow will be our day to get ready to travel. We will be leaving Thursday to head south.
