Vacation - Day 6
Today, we did end up going to Mackinaw City. We got there in the early afternoon, so there wasn't enough time to do much.
We started out my climbing to the top is the Mackinaw City Lighthouse. That was really interesting and provided an outstanding view of the Straits and the Mackinac Bridge. However, our time spent at the top of the lighthouse was cut short then we spotted a lightning strike out over Lake Huron. For obvious reasons, we weren't allowed in the tower with bolts of lightning falling from the sky.
From there, we went to Historic Mill Creek to walk some of the most beautiful nature trails in the area. It was more stunning than we remembered it, but because it was so late in the day, we didn't have nearly enough time to explore as much as we wanted to before the park closed.
We spent the rest of the day shopping with dinner at Audie's and a stop at Marshall's for a heaping helping of fudge. We landed back at Higgins pretty late, but we've all but decided that another journey to the Straits would be a good thing.
