Door County

STURGEON BAY:
On Sunday (the 26th) we traveled over to Door County, Wisconsin after Mass. It wasn't too far from Green Bay (where we attend Mass). We had never been there before so wanted to play tourist for a day. We started out by eating a nice family restaurant. The boys had pancakes, pancakes and more pancakes.

Then we spent some time looking through the Door County Maritime Museum. The boys were captivated by the models of the ships and the lighthouse room. It had a working lighthouse lamp/light and an interactive map of the lighthouses in Door County. Blase and Darren experimented with the range finding activity. I think we all loved the periscope. You could look around outside the building and see the boats, bridge and buildings that surrounded the museum. I enjoyed the area dedicated to the female welders who helped build ships during the war. We also watched a short movie showing how to build a canoe. They made it look easy!

This is outside the museum where the fire boat and tug boat was docked. We didn't tour them, but they were impressive to look at.

EGG HARBOR:
Next we drove up to Egg Harbor, WI. You can see Menominee (where Darren works) from Egg Harbor, so we lined up for a picture. I thought I would show the amount of pictures it took to finally get a somewhat decent shot. Oh boys anyway!!
Where's REX? So I'm walking over to get him.

WAIT...we can't see Brech's face.


REX!!! Come back!

AHhh, now we can't see Rex's face!
EVERYONE LOOK AT THE CAMERA!!!
Oh forget it...at least we are all in the picture this time.
