A few years ago we had taken a driving tour with the Cadillac Club beginning in Kalamazoo, Michigan and ending in St. Ignace, across the Mackinac Bridge. We spent a week traveling along the western coast and were amazed at the beautiful places we had seen and things we had done, and so we decided to go back.
This time, we took along our three year old granddaughter, MacCaila, who is always ready for vacation travel!

My Water!!! Once we hit the coast and were able to see water, MacCaila kept calling it "her water." When we'd lose sight of it, she'd ask where "her water" went. She was thrilled that she could see it from our room. In fact, every day she said good morning and good night to it! (August 23, 2004)

We were staying on Leelanau Peninsula, with plenty to see and do. We made sure to point out to Mac exactly where we had been each day on our map. (August 23, 2004)

Every morning we had breakfast on the porch of the main building of the inn where we were staying. A great way to start the day! (August 24, 2004)
