We celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary on July 23rd at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island (at the top of Lake Michigan) We took a jetboat over (so all day I had hair by JetSki). The Hotel was built in 1887 as one of the most fashionable great lakes summer resorts. The island banned "horseless" carriages in 1901, so it maintains its historic victorian flavour (see below for note on garbage). The movie Somewhere in Time was made there, with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. We met the Ree's there at the next table, they were celebrating exactly the same occasion, same number of years, same day of marriage.....very weird. The Grand Hotel is huge and has the longest covered balcony in the States. We had a spectacular buffet lunch in the Grand Dining Room, very opulent indeed.
