Mackinac Island - Two Page Scrapbook Layout

 Mackinac Island is one of our favorite summer trips! Have you ever been? My favorite thing to do there is rent a bike and ride around the island. It's so beautiful and unique!

I love being able to cut out the states for our travel layouts.  I used it as a base for my layered title. Super fun and some what subtle with the colors I chose.

A few strips of torn washi tape and a cute orange bike added to the fun. This was during Covid...hence the awful masks. It was a hot day and I struggle with mask wearing, but they were super strict about it on the ferry ride. I thought I was going to die. Okay...I'm being slightly over dramatic.

We love watching the big draft horses and looking for rocks on the beach. They'd had some erosion to the path around the island, so it was actually blocked off on one end. We just followed everybody else around the barricade. It was probably there for liability purposes. 😎

We had a great time, and I made it all the way around with only a little whining.  LOL! I would definitely do it again as long as my knees can continue to ride!! 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a great weekend!!

Two Page Scrapbook Layouts - Mackinaw Island

Mackinaw Island is one of our favorite places to visit. Whether we're lucky enough to spend a long weekend there, or even just a day trip, it's so much fun! Here's a few layouts from a few summers back. Our son joined us for the trip. We had a great time!

First....."Are We There Yet" - A layout of our bike ride around Mackinaw Island.

 Even I made it all the way around!! I had to walk my cruiser bike up one of the hills, but aside from that, the 8.2 mile trip was a breeze! My son and husband bike often and go much farther, so I was happy to keep up with them, for the most part.

 We rented our bikes and mine was a cruiser! I came home convinced that I needed to replace my mountain bike with a cruiser! For my birthday that year, I picked out my very own Electra Townie 7D. Oh my word...so much more comfortable and I love riding again.

Gorgeous views all the way around the island. Lots of places to stop, rest, skip stones, and take pictures.

We stayed one night on the island at a beautiful bed and breakfast just one street back from the main drag. What a gorgeous place! The flowers and the hospitality were amazing.

"Flower Power" at the Metevier Inn, Mackinaw Island

 I must admit this is probably the first time I've ever used lavender card stock! :) I like the way it turned out, though. I can almost smell the flowers.

 Such a fun place to stay. They thought of everything to make our stay memorable.

If you've never been, you need to go and experience Mackinaw Island overnight. Maybe I should start collecting commissions from the MI Convention Bureau. 😃 You really don't need to go to California or Florida to experience beautiful coastal views and beaches. #puremichigan
