Exploring Mackinaw City, Michigan - a Tour with Drivin' & Vibin'
We explore the Mackinaw City, Michigan in this video. The city has many lighthouses and waterfront parks. The downtown strip offers restaurants, candy shops, and lots of tourist traps! :)
We're Kyle & Olivia, a young couple traveling the country full time in our vintage camper. We hit the road in September of 2015, with the goal to live a minimal lifestyle and connect with the world around us. We hope our experiences can inform and inspire others to pursue a life of passion and adventure. Join the Vibe Tribe as we discover the joys and obstacles of RV life!

Mackinac Island
Mackinac Island (/ˈmækɨnɔː/ MAK-in-aw) is an island and resort area, covering 3.8 square miles (9.8 km2) in land area, in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is located in Lake Huron, at the eastern end of the Straits of Mackinac, between the state's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. The island was home to a Native American settlement before European exploration began in the 17th century. It served a strategic position amidst the commerce of the Great Lakes fur trade. This led to the establishment of Fort Mackinac on the island by the British during the American Revolutionary War. It was the site of two battles during the War of 1812.
In the late 19th century, Mackinac Island became a popular tourist attraction and summer colony. Much of the island has undergone extensive historical preservation and restoration; as a result, the entire island is listed as a National Historic Landmark. It is well known for its numerous cultural events; its wide variety of architectural styles, including the famous Victorian Grand Hotel; its fudge; and its ban on almost all motor vehicles. More than 80 percent of the island is preserved as Mackinac Island State Park.

Come Shop with Me at Somerset Collection in Troy, Michigan ~ Favorite Mall Walking Tour!
I'm so excited to share this video with all of you! I know I've mentioned Somerset a number of times, so I hope that I represented it well enough for you to see why I love it! It is laid out well (in my humble opinion!) - having two main sides that are connected by a skywalk that goes across Big Beaver Road in Troy.
On the North side, there are three levels and Nordstrom and Macy's are the main anchor stores. Some of my favorite stores on that side include Sephora, Gap, Forever 21 Accessories, and Anthropologie.
On the South side, there are two levels and the main anchor stores are Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. This side has boutique stores, like Louis Vuitton, Tory Burch, Gucci, Tiffany & Co., Kate Spade, Burberry, Coach, and more... My favorite stores on this side are Louis Vuitton (of course!), Crate and Barrel, Tiffany & Co., and Saks Fifth Avenue.
Somerset also has a number of great food options, from the Peacock Cafe food court on the third level of the North side, to Nordstrom's Cafe, California Pizza Kitchen, J. Alexander's, P.F. Chang's, Brio, and Capital Grille.

Shepler’s doubles down on commitment to Michigan, builds second ferry at Moran Iron Works
ONAWAY, Mich. – Shepler’s Mackinac Island Ferry and Moran Iron Works are joining forces a second time to build a $4 million state-of-the-art ferry in Northeast Michigan.
The project is designed to spread the wealth of the booming Mackinac Island tourism industry to a nearby region of the state that is struggling economically.
“Our business is growing along with the increasing number of people, bikes and luggage that need to cross the straits to the island,” said Bill Shepler, CEO of Shepler’s. “We’re thrilled to be able to step up and meet that demand, and at the same time give this region a boost.”
Shepler’s has seen its fortunes rise in recent years as tourism to Mackinac Island increased. Revenues from hotel rooms were up 66 percent between 2011 and 2018, according to the Mackinac Island Tourism Bureau. The travel website TripAdvisor named the island the most popular summer destination in the country last year.
Shepler and Tom Moran, CEO and founder of Moran Iron Works, announced the project today at a news conference in Moran’s fabrication center, where Shepler cut the first piece of metal for the new ferry. It is scheduled to carry its first passengers in the summer of 2020.
“Moran Iron Works is all in on fulfilling Shepler’s commitment to build in Michigan, by Michigan, for Michigan,” Moran said. “The work being done here will support 40 local families and result in one of the finest vessels plying the straits today.”
Instead of propellers, the new boat will have four jet drives, supplied by HamiltonJet of New Zealand. This will be the first fast-ferry application of the company’s jets in the U.S. Great Lakes, and the first application of its new Advanced Vessel Control System in the United States. HamiltonJet’s Ace Backer said the system will provide a “quieter, smoother, faster” ride.
The new 210-passenger boat will be wheelchair accessible and have a big aft deck for luggage, bikes and strollers. It will also include enhanced air conditioning and heating capabilities to keep passengers comfortable in all weather.
Construction will require some 13,000 man hours on the shop floor over the next several months. This fall the 60-ton ferry will be trailered to Moran Iron’s Port Calcite Collaborative, a deep-water port in nearby Rogers City. The move will take place along a high-wire transport corridor running primarily along the M-68 highway.
It will then launch in Lake Huron and be sailed to Shepler’s facility in Mackinaw City, where it will be detailed in preparation for its inaugural run next summer.
Updates on construction can be followed using the #SheplersNewRide hashtag on Shepler’s Mackinac Island Ferry’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.
Moran Iron Works has done routine repairs as well as extensive modifications on four Shepler’s vessels, and this is its second ferry build for the company. Traditionally, ferries are built in the shipyards of Wisconsin, the Atlantic seaboard or the Gulf Coast, but Moran Iron is changing that with its inland facility and high-wire corridor to Port Calcite.
Moran’s first ferry project was Shepler’s $3.8 million, 281-passenger Miss Margy, launched in 2015. Named after Bill Shepler’s mother Margaret, Miss Margy is Shepler’s largest ferry and considered the pride of Shepler’s fleet.
“Shepler’s is always working to maintain its position as Michigan’s premier ferry service to the state’s premier tourist destination,” Shepler said. “This new boat is another downpayment on that commitment.”

We’re the Great Lakes
We separate Canada from the United States
The Great Lakes
Are the largest body of fresh water on Earth to date
We’re the Great Lakes
There are only five of us to celebrate
The Great Lakes
come to visit all of us so you can appreciate
Hello I’m Lake Superior
It’s great to know you
I am the largest of the Great Lakes of North America this is true
Canadian Province, Ontario
Touches my north shores
And the US State
of Minnesota’s in my West of course
To the South, I touch Wisconsin
and Michigan you can see
And roughly 3 Quadrillion Gallons of water
I hold in me
I’m the largest freshwater lake by, surface area known
With 31,700 Square Miles
to swim and roam
I’m Lake Michigan
a North American lake I be
And the only one of the great lakes
in the US completely
I touch the states of Wisconsin, Illinois,
Michigan and Indiana
And I’m the 5th Largest Lake in the world
By Surface Area
The word Michigan’s derived from the Ojibwa Indian word Mishigami
It means “Great Lake”
And that’s why they gave the name to me
We’re the Great Lakes
We separate Canada from the United States
The Great Lakes
Are the largest body of fresh water on Earth to date
We’re the Great Lakes
There are only five of us to celebrate
The Great Lakes
come to visit all of us so you can appreciate
Lake Huron here the second largest of the Great Lakes by surface area
23,000 Square Miles of fresh water
I’d like to share with ya
I touch Ontario to the North and East and
Michigan through the South and west
Lake Michigan’s connected to me by Straits of Mackinac I attest
I am Lake Ontario
The Far East of all the Great Lakes
And I am the smallest lake
of the Great Lakes to date
I’m surrounded on the North and West and Southwest by Ontario
And on the south and east by the American state of New York Now you know
I’m Lake Erie the fourth largest of the Great Lakes in North America
The 13th Largest Freshwater Lake In The World By Surface Area
I touch New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan in the US
In the North, I touch the Ontario of Canada now go pass your test
We’re created by Glaciers Advancing and Retreating over thousands of years
The Glaciers Melted Filling Freshwater where erosion had appeared
We’re the Great Lakes
We separate Canada from the United States
The Great Lakes
Are the largest body of fresh water on Earth to date
We’re the Great Lakes
There are only five of us to celebrate
The Great Lakes
come to visit all of us so you can appreciate
