Last Tuesday: Mackinaw City

We debated between which fort we wanted to visit in the morning: Colonial Michilimackinac on the mainland or Fort Mackinac on the island.  The webpages were obviously made by the same person and looked fairly similar.  We ended up deciding on Colonial Michilimackinac.  (I don't know if it was the best decision, but it was a good decision.)

We took the ferry back and decided to make a quick detour to cross the bridge.




The fort was excellent.  There were people in costume and willing to answer all the questions.  I had more questions than the kids this time, but they enjoyed exploring.  Joshua really wanted to go on the ...I don't know the correct terminology...bridge around the inside of the fort and the corner lookouts.

We heard the artillery fire and the muskets fire.  I probably could have stayed a bit longer, but Joshua was starting to be done.  So we grabbed lunch and went home.  It was a short, but fun, trip.
