Far right: Even if you
say you hate
shopping, could you
resist this?

ou can bring your chil-
dren, your passion for
history and your sense of
adventure to Mackinac Is-
land. But leave your car
home.
No motor vehicles are al-
lowed on the island, so as not to
"intrude on the natural beauty."
Instead, you and your family
can look forward to long strolls
along the area's beautiful
streets, bike journeys, or
horse-drawn carriage
rides to historic Mar-
ket Street, Fort
Mackinac, the
governor's man-
sion and a working
blacksmith shop. (You'll
be able to leave your car on
the mainland and ferry on
over to the island; it's about a
30-minute ride.)
Among the sites you'll
be able to see on the is-
land:

crt To Do Along The Way

f you and your family have had just about all you can take of cute songs and identifying li-
cense plates, here are some ideas of Jewish games to play as you travel up north.
* You've heard of Jewish geography. Well, here's a new way to play it. Match the first
(or last) name of a famous Jew with the first letter of an American state: (Barbra)
Streisand and South Dakota. (Carl) Levin and Louisiana. (Binyarnin) Netanyahu
and Nevada. A hint: It's easier to start with the name than the state.
* Change the title and/or lyrics of your favorite song to include some-
thing Jewish. Have a contest to see who can come up with the silliest
words. Instead of "Maria" from West Side Stoly, how about, "Shloime, I
just kissed a boy named Shloime" (we warned you this would be
ridiculous), or, instead of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," how
about, "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Gefilte Fish"?
* Play "Grandmother's Attic," but make'it "Grandmother's
Refrigerator" filled with Jewish foods instead. The first person
says, "I looked in grandmother's kitchen and I saw some chopped liv-
er." The second person repeats the phrase, then adds his own: "I looked
in gandmother's kitchen and I saw some chopped liver and a box of
matzah." The third person repeats that phrase, then adds his own food,
and so on and so on until the list is so long nobody can repeat it any-
‘, more.
