My late wife and I honeymooned there in 1975. Room was about $80. This included box lunch and a gourmet dinner! We took a ride in a carriage. Horses names were Bonnie & Clyde. I sat right behind Clyde,wife sat behind Bonnie. Bonnie developed a bad case of gas throughout the whole ride. Been 48 years but I still remember that my wife wanted to kill that horse! My first trip there was in 1954 with my folks. No fast food places in Ma ckinaw city. No bridge yet. Took a auto ferry across to St.Ignace. Not so commercial as in later years.

Since I've been watching you guy's, to me this was the best. The movie "Somewhere in Time" was excellent. My husband recently died and that movie with Reeves and Seymour was one of our all time favorite. Thank you for the tour.

Thank you for filming your trip. I was born and raised on the island and I miss home so much. The only time I've been in the Grand was our senior banquet back in 1976. There were seven of us that graduated that year, we had a small school. Again thanks for filming!!

Our youngest son and I did the $10 tour because hub refused to stay there. It was always a dream to go and still have my GH sweat jacket that I bought while there (early 2000's). We walked all through it. But I want to say "THANK YOU SO MUCH" for the shot of the cupola!!! The most beautiful I've ever seen and brought back SO many memories!!! 💝

You I have lived up here for over 30 years, I have been to Mack Island but never the grand, although my daughter and husband both did honor guard duty there with scouts. I def want to go. It seems so expensive but def worth it at least to have dinner. Btw I have to comment on your skin, your skin looks fantastic in this yooper air sweetheart. That Mackinaw USCG was the boat my father in law worked on. Thank you for the vid's and I wish I knew you were coming up cause I would like to have met you guys. Usually we travel to TN, FLA and Wi and Cali with the UK (Scotland in Aug).
