I know Laverne and Shirley are long gone (at least off of the TV) but the adult beverages are still prominent in the land of cheese, beer and wine and that land is Fish Creek, Wisconsin in Door County. Visitors to this part of Wisconsin get to enjoy water sports on Lake Michigan in the summer, take snowmobile tours and sled rides in the winter and enjoy harvest time of the fall. Fall is the time when orchards and vineyards are harvested of their bountiful fruits.
I have never made it to Wisconsin but the more I hear about this state I should plan a trip sooner than later. Sitting on the banks of the mighty Lake Michigan just north of Green Bay by about an hour is Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Every season is a good reason to visit here.
With winter vastly approaching, the state of Wisconsin definitely feels the cold and chill in the air especially being near the lake. Winter activities like skiing, snow-shoeing, ice-skating and sledding are all very prominent in these neck of the woods. Of course, the Green Bay Packers make for a good time if you can weather “the weather”. I have always enjoyed watching the Packers play in the snow on TV just to wonder how they keep hold of the football. You can definitely find respite indoors and curl up in front of a nice cozy fire and enjoy a hot chocolate or latte at the local cafe or at one of the many quaint bed and breakfasts that can be found in the area.
Apparently in Wisconsin and more specifically Wisconsin Dells, water sports and water activities are #1 all year around. Wisconsin Dells is located along the Wisconsin River and is 2 hours from Milwaukee and Oshkosh, almost 3 hours from Green Bay and only 1 hour from Madison. Wisconsin Dells offers year round golf, hiking, biking, river boat tours, jet boats, cruises, indoor and outdoor water parks and plenty of dining experiences for the whole family.

It was the curious name that piqued my interest in this destination. What is a kettle moraine and why would they name a forest after it? The unusual name is a geological term describing the terrain in the area that was scoured by glaciers during one of the last ice ages. The kettles, or depressions, were caused when buried ice melted and left hundreds of ponds and lakes in their places.
Then, I looked at the map and became even more curious. Here in Colorado, our forests are epic in size, but this Wisconsin State Forest is strung out into 5 different small sections that span a hundred miles. The Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive is the thread that stitches them all together as it winds through southeastern Wisconsin.

Enjoy a trip to this “hamlet” of over 200,000 people just 2 1/2 hours north of Chicago and you’ll be surprised to find out that there are a host of activities for everyone - whether you’re a family-group or a business traveler.
The Henry Vilas Zoo is a great stop for young and old. They started as a family operation in 1911 and still runs today on the premise that the zoo should be accessible to everyone - regardless of income or status. Therefore, keeping with an almost 100 year tradition, Zoo admission is completely free - that’s right FREE. What a great way to spend the day enjoying the spring sun or fall colors.
