| We began our anniversary extravaganza with a classy lunch at Wienerlicious in Mackinaw City |
 |
| Then we did an about face and entered the Hotel Iroquois on Mackinaw Island |
 |
| This is just one of many elegant touches we encountered in our "never to be forgotten" stay at this wonderful place. |
 |
| We had the most fabulous meal at the Iroquois and the atmosphere was outstanding. |
 |
| Petey started off with escargot. It was fun watching him extract those little snails from their shells. I think he burned a few calories during the procedure. |
 |
| Here's his entree - prime rib. Perfectly prepared. |
 |
| I went with the filet mignon. So, so tender. I ordered peanut butter pie for dessert which I shared with Petey. I didn't get a picture of it because I was beyond excited to see it arrive at our table. Take my word for it - it was beautiful and lip smackin' good. I did not smack my lips, tho'. It was a classy joint, remember. No smacking allowed. |
 |
| The complimentary breakfast was healthy and delicious. Usually, for me anyway, healthy and delicious don't go together most of the time but they pulled it off. |
 |
| It took me a moment during our first morning to identify the "clip, clop, clip, clop" I heard outside our window. |
 |
| We take the horse-drawn wagon tour every time we visit the island. There's always something new to learn but I pretty much go for the donuts at the "break" spot. |
 |
| We had lunch at the Jockey Club last year and decided on dinner there this time around. It's part of the Grand Hotel and sits next to it on the golf course. |
 |
| Petey went with the white fish/crab dish. He did not, however, eat the flower that adorned his meal. |
 |
| I had the Korean BBQ rib tacos. Oh, my! |
We realized that we'd only staid on the island once before many years ago. Two nights was perfect because we got to experience the quiet evenings and mornings.
We absolutely fell in love with the Iroquois and hope to make it a habit of staying there whenever we return. And we will return.
