When you tell people you’re going to Michigan’s Mackinac Island, they often get a wistful look in their eyes. Car-free for more than a century, this charming and thickly forested island (whose name is pronounced “Mackinaw”) evokes a bygone age with its Victorian homes, elegant hotels, horse-drawn carriages, and fudge. Lots and lots of fudge. With more than a dozen fudge shops, Mackinac Island is the fudge capital of the world, which might explain why it’s one of the most popular family vacation spots in the U.S. for kids (or anyone with a sweet tooth).
