Michigan: Mackinac Island – A Last-Minute Mother-Son Adventure
Ever have a parenting moment where you think, “Should we?” – and then you say yes anyway?
In this episode, Jill takes you along on a totally last-minute trip to Mackinac Island – just her, her mom, and her little guy, Graeme. One unexpected day off school turned into three, and suddenly they were on a ferry north, chasing one more perfect slice of summer.
From iconic fudge to horse-drawn carriage rides, sweeping porch views at The Grand, mini golf, and numerous trips down the waterslide, this trip is filled with charm, tradition, and joyful chaos. Sometimes the best memories don’t come from planning…they come from play.
