Dear Dr. Melton, Today we visited Mackinac Island! It was a great trip and we learned a lot about Michigans history and saw a lot of cool things! We were shocked to hear that no cars are allowed on the island! That was different to hear because we use cars all the time! Some of the houses were close together to make use of the land. The ferry ride there and back was really fun too! See you soon! Mr. MacIntosh, Mrs. Herberholz, and Mr. Schmidt
