Last weekend I took a little road trip to Mackinac Island to stay at the Grand Hotel, and you guys… the fall colors in Michigan were unreal. Everything looked so much more orange than it did back home in Ontario, and driving early in the morning I could even see the mist (is “dew” the right word? I don’t know, I’m not a scientist). Once we got on the ferry, you can actually spot the Grand Hotel in the distance, and it honestly feels like you’re heading into a movie. Mackinac Island was my first time, and the fact that there are no cars makes it feel extra charming—everything is bikes or horse-and-buggy taxis, which I loved. I wandered through the shops (also: why is there fudge everywhere?! tell me), took about a million photos, and soaked in all the color and architecture of the hotel. I also talk about Somewhere in Time (1980) with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, which was filmed here, and they even have a little section dedicated to it. And because I’m me, I fully leaned into the vibe for dinner—after 6 p.m. there’s a dress code, which I personally love—so I wore my 1930s velvet dress with a 1930s hat. It was such a dreamy, photo-filled weekend, and then it was back on the ferry (plus a very random wild hot air balloon sighting on the drive home).
