We drove up to the top of the mitten for Labor Day Weekend with our little popup trailer, hoping to enjoy a few long days in the sun and sand. That was not the case, however. Instead, it rained and rained and rained... So we decided to take a few day trips instead of sitting in our camper all day, every day. Friday we headed north to see the Locks and visit Ontario.
Elijah "meets" his first Mountie (er, Royal Canadian Mounted Police) in the Welcome Center of Sault Sainte Marie, ON.
We went to the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre and it was very cool! We could touch and even climb in most of the airplanes!
We also hit up the mall in town to do some shopping. We bought the kids some clothes from Roots and the Canadian Carter's. Then, we stocked up on some Canadian goodies. A few treats I knew I wanted to eat (ketchup chips) and some for the kids (Rockets and Smarties - like our Smarties and M&Ms) and a few Derek discovered that are amazing (mostly chocolate bars - one is a candy bar basically made out of sea foam! Cadbury Crunchie bar... why oh why don't they sell those in our area!!).
The next day, the sun came back and we hit the docks in Mackinaw City to take a ferry over to Mackinac Island.
We took our bikes and bike trailer for Elijah to ride in and then rented a Wee Hoo tag-along for Abigail to "test drive". There are no pictures of us biking the island... I guess we had our hands full towing the kids.
It was a beautiful day (the best one of the weekend!) so we were glad we chose to do The Island that day. Abbi was sad to leave...
