Grand Marais to Mackinac City

 Saturday June 25th was a PERFECT weather day! Leaving Grand Marais about 7am, we did make several stops along Hwy. 2 overlooking Lake Michigan. Despite it being early in the day, Mike and Alyssa were noticeably more impressed with the scenery than on the way up north!
It was such a glorious, peaceful morning, I would have loved to hike this coastline for an hour or two, but we had to stay on schedule as Mike needed to meet his Boy Scout troop in Mackinac City about 10 am. I was thrilled though that everyone did get to see how beautiful the U.P. really is!
 Around 9 am we paused at a few more lookouts to get a good glimpse of the Mackinac Bridge on such a sunny day!
 We were good on time, so we spent a good 20 minutes at the Straits of Mackinac State Park.
 Alyssa and Mike's last few moments in the U.P.
 In a few minutes we would be back in the Lower Peninsula.....hmmmmmm, I wonder if we are called the L.P. by the Yoopers?????!!!! Hehe.
