A Grand Afternoon

The kids and I were lucky enough to meet grandma and grandpa at the Grand Hotel for lunch the other day. Was it ever fun to watch the kids at the buffet - especially the desert table! There's nothing like a seeming unending supply of cakes, candies, and pies to put a smile on a child's face. (OK, mine too.) My son got quite a few amused looks as he was jumping for joy, clapping his hands and saying "Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!" while eying all those goodies.


If you plan to visit Mackinac and are looking for a fantastic lunch, the Grand Hotel buffet is a wonderful option. Don't let the price tag scare you away; I guarantee you'll never forget your lunch at the Grand. Even my two little ones realized it was something quite special - they are still talking about it. Be sure to go check out the fountain (down in the garden) afterward - splashing your big brother (or whomever you happen to be with) is included at no extra charge...

Liz, that is something I regret we did not do on our trip. Willie and I rode bikes up to the Grand, but never went in, oh how I wish we had. If only for those delicious sounding desserts! LOL
Also, the dresses on your last post are beautiful! Such talent!!! Hope you have a great weekend.

Omgosh, the Grand buffet is to die for! We've done it three times and I think it just gets better! You're right...although a bit pricey, it is something you will NEVER forget! Yum yum yum!!!

Looks like a fun time! I love the photo of your kids playing in the fountain - so cute. I have been inside the Grand to look around but never eaten there - I told my hubby we need to plan on that next time we are on the island.
Happy Monday to you!
