Everyone From Michigan Should Take This One Awesome Vacation Before They Die

There’s good reason why Mackinac Island one of the best places to visit in Michigan. When you take the trip, you’re taken back to a time when the automobile was not a part of our everyday lives. When strolling around on foot, carriage or bicycle were the preferred ways to get around. And when we indulged in simple pleasure like old-fashioned fudge.

It’s for these reasons and more that we chose Mackinac Island as the ultimate vacation destination in the Mitten State. See for yourself.
