A Stop In Mackinaw City

This year on our way up to the family cottage in the U.P. we made a one night stop in Mackinac City.  Last summer, Russell was intrigued by the fort when passing by so after many requests I agreed to take him there this year.  We stayed at a fun hotel on Lake Huron that also had an indoor water park.  We played, shopped, and enjoyed several hours at Fort Michilimackinac.  I definitely have a history lover on my hands!!!

Musket shooting.

Listening to a history lesson.  Russell did not miss a word!

Look out towers.

Russell checked out every cannon.

He did not miss one square inch of this place!

His favorite part - the soldiers quarters.  We had to visit and re-visit this building at least 5 times.
