1001 places to go before you die:

1.  MACKINAC ISLAND

Mackinac Island (pronounced mack-ih-naw) should definitely be at the top of everyone's list.  Or, at the top IF you reside in Michigan and neighboring states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota.  Logistically, a trip from Seattle would make it more difficult... although, worth the time travel.

The island is small enough to run around -- even for an amateur, slow runner like me.  The island is perfect for biking around.  Rent a tandem and a honey and pedal through beautiful scenery... while laughing!!   Ride a horse.  Beware of the SMELL emitted from these island creatures -- it is a small island!

The no motorized vehicle ordinance makes this island very safe... unless you kicked in the head by one of the many horses in town.  And I don't think you can receive a 'ticket' for drunk-walking on the way home from a pub. 

The Grand Hotel ... as seen in the movie "Somewhere in Time"... is a lovely place to stay.  Share a special moment with your daughters, mothers, grandmothers, sisters, or aunts during Afternoon Tea at the Grand Hotel.

I am dreaming of a vacation on Mackinac Island!

An apple a day

Keeps the Doctor Away

In memory of Michigan, my home state,

the place I still regard as "home", we planted an apple tree.

ap-ple (ap.el) 1. a tree, Pyrus malus, of temperate regions, having fragrant pink or white flowers and edible fruit.  (American Heritage Dictionary) 

Did you know that Michigan produces 18,100,000 bushels of apples per year? 
And, Michigan ranks third in USA production? 

You cannot take that away from us, you government officials who are driving Michigan into the ground!!
