Weekend get away day 2

I have been to Mackinac Island many times; I love exploring all the different trails, and just enjoy the outdoors. Both of my younger sisters were Mackinac Island Honor Scouts so when they would come for their week of guide duty my mom and I would come up and stay on the island. I have been many places which after talking with Al I realized how much I take what I have seen for granted.

During dinner Friday night Al pointed out that she had never been to Crack-in-the-island or Cave of the woods. So J said lets do it. After watching the weather and seeing it was going to be another hot one we left the hotel at 8:00am to go to Crack-in-the-island and Cave of the woods.

We left the hotel and headed up Fort St. then took Huron to Garrison Road. We had to do a quick view of the cemeteries, and then off down Garrison to British Landing Road, down State Road to Crack-in-the-island and Cave of the woods. We did some exploring in this area then headed back to State Road and back to British Landing Road to Annex Road we viewed the front of the airport then headed down Annex to Stonecliff Road. Took a look at The Inn at Stonecliff (http://theinnatstonecliffe-px.trvlclick.com/) . Since Al had never seen these places either. Then we headed back down Stonecliff Road to Annex Road to Cadotte Avenue to Market Street in the back door of the hotel. I had 10,000 steps by 10:30am.

After lunch and a short rest we were off we went to the new art museum. The museum was very nice I highly recommend it. Buying at ticket at the museum gave us passes to the down town houses  so we did a quick tour of them.


After visiting the down town houses we headed to the Grand Hotel outlet store to buy a table cloth or something of that nature to site on at the Baseball game. Visited some of the other stores along the way, and then went back to the hotel. Rested for a bit, then it was time to head up to the Scout Barracks for the Vintage Baseball game
