On Monday the 1st, we walked across the Mackinac Bridge. Grandpa Gary, Tara, Tyler, and I were the only ones who made it (Grandma Terry wasn't feeling well, Great Grandma Parrott had a sore leg, Sam was still sleeping, and there was no way we were going to take Steve on the 5+ mile walk across). The weather was perfect, making it a very enjoyable experience. Afterward, those who didn't walk across met us on the lower peninsula, where we spent some time walking around Mackinaw City. Tara, the kids, and I had to leave for home, but on our way we stopped at Sea Shell City, where they had a playground which the kids climbed on.
