This past weekend was the 35th anniversary of the Allnighters. We originally started this celebratory weekend to take time away from husbands, kids, and responsibilities. We originally started at a house in the school forest (the house is now gone due to erosion). For the past 14 years we have met on Mackinac Island. Due to life issues and commitments, only six of us attended this year. Thanks to those who attended for a great time. We missed those who were not able to attend.
We caught the ferry from Saint Ignace....
Grand Hotel
Fort
Most of our group. One more friend joined us the next day.
Living room of the house in which we stay.
I love this painting.
Stairs to go up to the bedrooms.
Side porch (there are cushions inside the door). We had one day of sun, although it was cold. However, we did sit out on the porch for a while in the afternoon.
View from our front door.
We had steak for dinner.
Renee was not able to join us, so we brought with us a picture of her.
We went for a walk. Below is a photo of the Mackinac Bridge from a road above where we stayed.
A local who allowed me to take a photo.
Dinner...
We had a cake to celebrate #35.
On the weekend we went to a local play. I was very impressed with the performances, the sets, and the coordination by the whole crew. Great job and a good time!
Two of us had to leave a day early. I snapped the following two photos showing how few tourists are on the island in April. There were very few stores/restaurants open.
Two of us were waiting for the ferry, while the others saw us off.
It was even empty at the dock.
