ALL THINGS BIKES
Since no cars are allowed on Mackinac Island, one of the most scenic ways to take in the natural beauty is by bicycle. You’re always welcome to take your own bikes to Mackinac Island on the ferry. But there also are several places to rent bikes – from single-speed cruisers to tandem bikes to tag-along trailers for little kids. One of the iconic Mackinac Island experiences is to pedal all the way around the outer rim of the Island with the lake breeze in your face. It’s a leisurely 8.2-mile ride that takes 60 to 90 minutes.

20 years of not only love, but of being the absolute best example of true love & what being a partner should be like. Two people that were just totally meant to be. Two incredible humans finding each other even after being through some of the toughest battles. Two people so in love that nothing stops them from following their dreams & accomplishing their goals. I can’t thank these two enough for everything, truly. They have made me who I am today, have pushed & supported me to follow my dreams, & have showed me unconditional love every minute of everyday. My parents are my muse. They’re a real life fairytale, like the ones you see in the movies & I’m just lucky enough to get a front row show. I’ll never forget the first date with us kids 23 years ago. That day just might be one of my favorites. The day my mom fell in love with her forever person & the day I gained the most incredible man in my life that I’m blessed to call my dad. I can’t wait to have them back with me in a few weeks for the season & to capture their love story for another year on Mackinac. Join me in wishing these two love birds a very Happy 20th Wedding Anniversary.
Happy Anniversary, I love you both forever & always.🖤
