It is Somewhere in Time Weekend at the Grand Hotel. The movie “Somewhere in Time” was shot on Mackinac Island, mostly at the Grand, so fans of the movie get together and dress as if they are back in 1912.

I am a closet fan of the movie– mainly because it was shot on Mackinac though when I was young I had a crush on Christopher Reeve. I think Jane Seymour is beautiful too. The movie itself is quite cheezy though I ate it up when I first saw it…okay the first few times I saw it. I have always been intrigued by time travel. Then there is my passion for all things Mackinac. The movie fed my passion when I was a kid and I couldn’t get to the Island as often as I go now.
Every year when Somewhere in Time Weekend at the Grand comes around I really want to be there yet I feel it is kind of silly. But so what! I am adding ‘Participate in Somewhere in Time Weekend at the Grand Hotel’ to my bucket list. I want to do the whole dress up thing too. That is going to cost a pretty penny. I definitely want to lose weight before go so I can get some really pretty outfits– not anything matronly. Then there is getting my husband on board with the whole idea, haha. He says no way (the hater) but I think I can convince him eventually. If not then I will just take a friend with me.
Favorite scene from the movie:
OMG that always makes me cry! I am silly…but the Island is so beautiful.
Here is a cool website of period clothing:
When the time is right I am going to be ordering my outfit(s), ha. Maybe I’ll even make it next year!
