Sigh. "Definitely" and "defiantly" are different words, World. Please stop using them interchangeably. "Definitely" means "certainly" and is spelled exactly the way it sounds. Definite - ly. "Defiantly" means "resistant, rebellious, insubordinate", is also spelled exactly the way it sounds (defiant - ly), and is actually very rarely used at the beginning of a sentence, and almost never on its own. If you find yourself wanting to use one of these words to agree with someone, or as a complete sentence, you probably want "definitely". Okay? Okay. Moving on.

Jim and I went to Mackinac Island over the weekend. Guess what? There were no cars there! *gasp*
Seriously, though, it is a pretty cool little island. There's a little historic town, and we wandered through the museum and learned a bit about the island's history. It used to be the center of the fur trade, since it sits right in between two great lakes and is a great waypoint if you use lakes as a highway system. All transportation on the island is by bike or horse (or foot), but it doesn't really matter, since the circumference of the island is only about 8 miles. It's quite small. We rented bikes and rode around the outside, and it was a perfect day.
We stopped for a while and skipped rocks. The water was too cold to swim, but it was a great day for sitting and watching the water.
We also bought 1.5 lbs of fudge, which is the other thing the island is famous for. I have to say, this is pretty amazing fudge. We may have to go back when I run out.
Later this week.
The rest of the pictures we took are here.
