We also went to Milwaukee

and had a bonfire.
Today we went back to Green Bay for the game .. we also had a wonderful tailgate party with a lot of food before the game and it was just a perfect day (only the Packers lost again :-()!!!

Today we played 18 holes of golf at the Silver Spring Country Club which was great! We had beautiful weather and the course was very interesting with a lot of water … we lost some balls though ..
We also visited Madison, the State Capitol of Wisconsin.

Today the weather was just awesome !
So we went to Door County, a very nice place near Green Bay.
We also had the chance, to try one of the specialities of D.C. .. a fish boil !
In a huge kettle Lake Michigan Whitefish and potatoes and onions and just salt is heated,
until it boils over. Then the kettle master shouts “Boil over” and puts kerosene into the fire
The kerosene erases the fish oil normally swimming on the surface and then it’s served with melted butter .. yummy !!!
Have a nice start of the working week.

Tomorrow we have no special plans .. we’ll see how the weather will be …

Good morning from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula …
What an exciting morning … We went to breakfast and had a wonderful decorated table .. but only for a few seconds … then HE (who is not named) put the table into a mess in just a second …
Before the table was decorated all in white with flowers, after the table was decorated in brown, but still with flowers (strange thing … the table smelled like coffee …)
hhhmmm .. guess who did this ?!?!?

After leaving our motel early this morning, we went to Oswald’s Bear Ranch. As the first visitors this day, Mona got the chance to pet the 9 month old cubs.
Then we start our drive to Tahquamenon Falls State Park.
The Upper Falls is one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi. It has a drop of nearly 50 feet and is more than 200 feet across. A maximum flow of more than 50,000 gallons of water per second has been recorded cascading over its precipice.
Our way to Pictured Rocks National Park drove us along the most boring highway in the United States.
Now we are having some sandwiches and cold beer in our room.
Have a good night,
M & M
