AUGUST 2013
We spent the day slowly sightseeing around St. Ignace. We had never spent a day just lazying around the town, we found it to be quite delightful. First stop was the Father Marquette National Park where we enjoyed a lovely walk and the grounds, and of course, reviewing our knowledge, or lack thereof, of Father Marquette.
One of the best parts of the park is the walk down to view the Big Mac bridge.

Back in town proper we parked Jolly and walked around town, there were some pretty flowers:
We walked along the shoreline, people watching and boat watching, the following day we would take one of these over to Mackinaw Island. These are smaller versions of the ferries we usually ride from the Mackinaw City side of the bridge. When the "jet boats" get moving fast they show off with great rooster tails of water. I believe it is all a show fun thing, those rooster tails, they do make for a great photo tho. LOL . For the record, unless it is horribly hot, I prefer to sit inside, not on top, it is "breezy" up there, which translates to cool, besides that keeps my hat on my head as well.
Then, I looked up, neat eh? No, I have no idea why.
And, yes, there was a lighthouse here too, sorta like prairie dog photos, one simply cannot take too many. (Yes, Sony and the zoom at work here.)
As I said, the following day we would visit Mackinaw Island, a sure fire favorite of ours. Even though we have been any number of times, I still managed to take over 200 photos. Yes, it really is that lovely.
