Harbor Hopping on the Great Lakes: 2024 Friday, July 19, 2024: Moments before the first ferry of the day arrived, we walked over to Watercolor Cafe for breakfast. I love how colorful and cheery this place is and it's right at the edge of the water! I would've loved to relax here for hours but there was a long line of people waiting to get in. By noon, we were at the Grand Hotel. The grounds are stunning, especially the fountain and pool! We walked up to the porch and for the first time, we decided to go inside! Our first stop was the Cupola Bar where we savored our cocktails and appetizers, surrounded by panoramic views of the Straits of Mackinac. It was stunning! We toured the indoors for a while and then went to sit on the porch. I never tire of listening to the horse drawn carriages coming and going. I wish I had been quick enough to capture a stunning carriage being pulled by a prancing horse. It was louder and faster than any other horses and once it passed, we saw that it was a privately owned carriage. We assume it was owned by a doctor based on the elegant words displayed on the back. We made our way back to the boat, packed the cooler and necessities and headed out on the dinghy. It was still windy but much more tolerable today. Once we made our way around Mission Point, it was very calm and we could see a couple of boats anchored in the distance. We were in search of Arch Rock and assumed they were anchored near it and they were. It's so serene and the views are breathtaking! As promised, we returned to Bistro on the Green Mission Point so I could have a Bloody Mary. It was fantastic and a great ending to another amazing day.
