A Grand Time Baby!

For my Dad's 60th birthday we headed to The Grand Hotel to celebrate in style. Audrey enjoyed some snacks on the ferry ride over to Mackinac Island. We rode in the front of the ferry for a bit, but it was SO windy! Audrey enjoyed having her own seat, which kept folding up on her.

Our first night out on the porch for cocktail hour Audrey became obsessed with rocking the rocking chairs.

Audrey also enjoyed running around on the huge porch and waving at all the new people she met.

Some of the beautiful grounds of The Grand Hotel.




The Grand Hotel carriage and horses are the best on the island! The horses were always so friendly and didn't mind Audrey giving them a pat on their soft velvety nose. After a day of horse petting Audrey was horse crazy. She would hear the clip clop, point to the front of the porch and instantly want to go see the approaching horses. It was so cute.



The front porch where we spent a lazy afternoon sipping iced tea.

I swear I didn't plan it, but Audrey's entire wardrobe for the Grand Hotel trip coordinated with the hotel! Here she is matching the porch!!

Waiting for the horses to approach.

We had our family photo taken on the last night there. It was a fun getaway and a wonderful way to spend my Dad's birthday. Each night was a fabulous meal followed by a Grand Pecan Ball, which many will say is better than any birthday cake!!
This is one tuckered out peanut! She fell asleep as soon as we got off the ferry and hit the road. It was a long, but very fun and grand weekend!
