After an included breakfast, we will take Shepler’s Ferry to Mackinac Island. We will be greeted at the dock by horses and carriages for our carriage ride. Step back in time and enjoy the 78th Annual Lilac Festival. Mackinac Island is the truly “all natural” theme park of America. Limited to transportation of horse and buggy, bicycle or foot, surrounded by water, it has escaped the vast changes of time. Its real Victorian image is preserved and enhanced by a small population of 500 permanent residents and scores of summer residents, maintaining bluff cottages in their original state. The American Bus Association has designated this one of the nation’s top 100 tourist attractions. Enjoy the parade at 4pm before taking the ferry back to the mainland. We will go back to the hotel to freshen up before dinner. Optional gambling this evening. We will stay two hours and receive $10  in casino rebates.
