Milwaukee & Door County Combo
5 Days/ 4 Nights September 13-17, 2015
Day 1 – Today, travel to Milwaukee, WI and check into your
hotel for an overnight stay. This evening enjoy a dinner cruise
and explore Milwaukee's past and present from the river. You will
see Unforgettable views and a unique perspective of Milwaukee's
history and architecture. (D)
Day 2 - This morning you will stop and visit the Green Bay
Packers Museum. The Packers Hall of Fame is one of the premier
historical archives in sports with rare video footage from the
1930s to present, Super Bowl trophies and much more.
Next, kick off your Door County adventure beginning with a
meet and greet at the Door County Visitors Bureau. With more
than 300 miles of spectacular shoreline and five state parks, Door
County is a pleasure lover's dream come true. What makes Door
County a place like nowhere else? It's a rare find a single
destination that appeals to all of your senses.
Then check into your Door County, WI hotel for a two night stay.
Dinner this evening will be a traditional Door County fish boil at
Pelletier's Restaurant. Just as Scandinavian settlers off the
Peninsula did 100 years ago, fresh locally caught whitefish are
cooked outside over an open fire along with small baby red
potatoes and sweet boiling onions. (B,D)
During the cooking process, fish oils naturally rise to the surface
which "boil over" along with water in a fiery spectacle signaling
the end of the cooking process and the beginning of dinner!
Day 3 - Begin your day with a unique and authentic Swedish
breakfast experience at Al Johnson's Swedish Restaurant where
live goats can be found grazing on the sod roof. It's quite a sight,
and it's made this place one of the most famous restaurants in
Door County. Be sure to stop at the gift shop for a special
Swedish souvenir to remember your travels.
Following breakfast you will board the Washington Island Ferry
for a half-hour trip across the four mile passageway between the
tip of the County and the island known as "La Porte des Morts"
or "the door of the dead." The origin of its name and the
County's, arises from a fabled battle between the Winnebago and
Potawatomi Indians as well as, early French settlers who learned
the dangerous character of this narrow strait as ships became
entombed below in the chilly, turbulent water.
Next, explore Washington Island onboard the Island's original
open-air Cherry Train. Enjoy a narrated tour, highlighting island
features and attractions. Stops could include Stavkirke Church,
built to honor Scandinavian heritage. You will see Schoolhouse
Beach, a protected harbor area and the Island's original shipping
port and Jacobsen Museum, a small log cabin with a collection of
natural and historical artifacts of the region. (continued)
Day 3 - (continued) Return to the mainland early afternoon and
enjoy some free time to explore on your own. Dinner tonight is

Music Performance Center is where 200 students and 100 faculty
members study by day and present concerts by night in a century
old, 500 seat Dutton Concert barn. (B,D)
