River Cruise

We decided to try another cruise, this time on the Milwaukee River. We had two choices - the historical cruise that went by historical places including a narrative or the happy hour cruise that included endless beer and margaritas. I have always thought that history was overrated.

Harley-Davidson

While in Milwaukee you have to visit the new Harley Davidson museum. We saw a lot of great motorcycles.

German Fest

Milwaukee has a great German Fest. Five stages, dozens of bands, beautiful setting along Lake Michigan, plenty of food, beer and glemultichkeit. There was even a group from Dallas. Of course it would have been better had the Alpenmusikanten been playing.

Chicago Botanic Garden

We saw some of the most awesome flowers and plants.

Navy Pier

We visited Chicago's Navy Pier. Had dinner, watched the ships, had a good time.

Mansions

We spent a day touring Milwaukee mansions that have been turned into museums. The Pabst mansion, the Charles Allis Art Museum, and the Villa Terrace Art Museum.

Sheboygan

We stopped in Sheboygan Wisconsin on beautiful Lake Michigan for lunch. The weather was beautiful and then suddenly fog rolled in. First there was a lighthouse and then there wasn't!

Where

Guess where we are.

Fond du Lac

We visited beautiful Fond du Lac Wisconsin, but no brewpubs John. We also found our favorite street.

Mississippi

We went on a river cruise with Ben's brother, sister-in-law and niece. The weather was great when we started out. We were enjoying the scenery and a cool beverage, when suddenly a storm came up and we had to hurry back to the dock.

Water

Some of our hiking turned out to be wading!! This my friend Ray and I at Devil's Lake
