Mackinac Island – Grand Hotel

There is a very large bridge that crosses the Straights of Mackinac, which is very impressive.  The Grand Hotel is also located on the Island and is impressive in its own right — if a bit snooty.  Notice the two women in red blazers and pith helmets.  It is their job to keep the riff-raff out or to collect the ten dollars charged to walk up onto the front porch.  At least the ten dollars can then be applied to the fifty dollar lunch buffet.  There is also a movie released about twenty years ago, Somewhere In Time, with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve, which ties into the hotel.  It is commemorated on a plaque outside.
