We woke up to a gorgeous day. Brian took a dip in Lake Michigan, while Van and I walked over to the dog beach and he got his toes wet. After we packed up, we drove over to check out Headlands International Dark Sky Park. We didn't try to venture over the night before, but if the conditions would have been right, it would have been super cool to see. The facilities were pretty amazing even during the day. Next we drove to Mackinac City. We actually took a wrong turn, and ended up in the middle of all the chaos. Of course we had to stop to pick up some fudge and split some fish and chips before continuing on. Then we got to venture over the bridge again, this time in clear weather and holiday traffic. It took a really long time to get across. We had one more stop before the long journey home - Palms Book State Park to see the Kitch-iti-kipi, Michigan's largest fresh water spring. It was absolutely gorgeous. Thanks to the busy weekend though, we weren't able to take the barge across. The wait was over two hours. We'll have to go back some day. After all the fun, we headed back. Van was definitely ready to be home, but Brian and I are already talking about our next adventure.
