Lexie Covington, Frieda Jenkins, Ruby Lucroy and Renae’ Thompson report having a wonderful trip to the famous Mackinac Island, Michigan with lodgings at Mission Resort. While there they enjoyed the absence of motor vehicles. Hiking, riding bikes and being surrounded by beautiful serene scenery and luxurious flowering plants and foliage were hilighlights of the restful, much deserved vacation. They DID splurge on a meal at the famous Grand Hotel, expensive, but all agreed that the setting and food was worth it!
