Putting on the Ritz at the Grand Hotel

Cori & Jesse treated us to a luxurious night's stay at the Grand Hotel on Macinac Island - we had such a wonderful time!

There it is! The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. This is where Somewhere in Time was filmed.
Ray at Arch Rock at Mackinac State Park.






The food was magnificent - beautifully presented by very professional, white gloved waiters. No cars are allowed on the island - everything is done by horse and carriage or walking - just as in the days of old, it gives a lovely timelessness and tranquility to the island.




We walked a few miles looking at all the lovely Victorian homes -












We liked these bird houses - and the landscaping around the island is beautiful - everything is so green and flowers everywhere!
After six - everyone dresses up - doesn't Ray look handsome in his tux! We dined in style and then spent a lovely evening listening to a harp concerto and going to the movies.

Those are great pictures. Thanks again for all of your loving help during your stay. Wish we could have sent you to the Grand Hotel for a week as payment!
