5 bucks if you can pronounce it right  ;)  Went to Mackinac Island and did some tourist stuff.  No cars allowed on this island, have to ride a bike or rent a horse.  Beautiful area, but very tourist trappish.

Star Line ferry, famous for their rooster tail

The Grand Hotel...Longest Porch in the U.S. (maybe world?)

And the mighty Mackinac Bridge, one of the longest suspension bridges in the world, connecting the upper penninsula and lower penninsula of Michigan, over 5 miles long.
