Our second day on the island has been action packed. First, my mom "Sacajawea", Aunt "Rose", and I went on a bike ride around the island before breakfast, waking up around 7 AM. When we rode around the island, there were almost no people because the first ferry hadn't arrived yet with all the day people. For most of the ride, I was on my own, in front of everyone else. I enjoyed just being by myself, riding as fast as I wanted to. We arrived back to the bed and breakfast for the excellent breakfast that I have been waiting to eat for a while. They have the best granola that they apparently buy from some Amish people in Wisconsin. Delicious!!!! After going on that bike ride, the food was especially tasty. From there, we split into two groups; my Aunt "Rose" and my cousin OMY went horseback riding, while everyone else (minus my oldest uncle, Aunt "Rose" and brother) went on another bike ride. We were going to stop at all the attractions, but since all the first timers on the island weren't on the ride, we decided that we would go tomorrow. By the end of the ride, my legs were sooo sore. Two rides back to back can to that to a person's legs. For those who went horseback riding, my aunt rode a horse named Jewel, and my cousin rode a horse named Oliver. Apparently, all Jewel wanted to do was eat, but other than that, and horse flies, it went okay. They came back around the same time that we did from our bike ride.
The main event today was going to visit Fort Mackinac. We went and ate lunch at the Fort Tea Room. The people around us and below us must have thought we are a pretty dysfunctional family. You see, we had bought two family passes on Fort Michilimackinac, but for that to work, OMY and "Sacajawea" had to pretend to be oldest uncle and Aunt "Rose's" children. As usual, they took it a little far. Actually, a little would be an understatement. They were yelling all sorts of things out, such as that OMY was an accident and "Sacajawea" was actually wanted, seeing as she was adopted. I ate a roast beef sandwich, which was the sandwich special of today. It was okay, but for this meal, it wasn't as much the food as the experience that mattered. After eating, we went around video taping tours of the buildings and such. We even found another black hole!! "Sacajawea" and OMY joined in on this dancing demonstration and OMY got to dance with one of the soldiers who had this pointy hat that we decided was used for stabbing people in the stomach. It was fun just walking around making stupid comments about stuff.
In between visiting the fort and dinner, we didn't really do much. The past few times that we don't eat dinner, but instead get ice cream. But this time, we decided to go out. Dinner tonight was at this fancy restaurant called the Woods. It's right next to this inn that used to be a mansion and apparently, the restaurant used to be the play house for the daughter. That's one lucky daughter. I was going to ride my bike there with my dad, but the roads are all wet because of the rain. So, I was forced into take the carriage there, which turned out to be not that bad. A little slow, but nice. On the way there, "Sacajawea" decided that she was the empress of the world. From then one, she has had two personalities- the empress and "Sacajawea". In her first, everyone is a servant or body guard or something of that sort. But in the second personality, we are all related. The guy who drove the carriage back to the bed and breakfast really had to put up with some, well, interesting behavior. "Sacajawea" was waving like a queen/beauty queen to random people on the street- her minions. It was pretty funny. We (and when I say we, I actually mean OMY and "Sacajawea") even fed the horses, Daisy and Bruce, an apple that was taken from the restaurant. The driver's probably still wondering what was wrong with us.
A few random things to mention are: you have to watch this one video on YouTube called "Jane Austen Fight Club." If you know anything about Jane Austen, it's really funny. Also, we saw a police car driving around our street! Yes, you read that right, a car! I know, gasp! We were taking some pictures in front of the bed and breakfast when all of a sudden, my brother yelled out, "Car" and we all had to look around like dogs to a squirrel. There were a few other funny things, but that pretty much raps things up for today.
