Northern Wisconsin & Apostle Islands

 

We had the opportunity to meet up with a longtime friend 
who use to live in Wisconsin. 
 
He took us to the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center
 just west of Ashland. It is worth stopping and viewing the 
sensational murals, displays and the views from the third level. 
Bayfield, Wisconsin has some stately homes and lots of 
interesting shops. A fun place to walk around and visit.
We are so glad we did the Apostle Island Boat Tour.
It was a cold, overcast day but we had a great time
riding on top of this Catamaran!
Being out on Lake Superior was quite the adventure.
We saw several Bald Eagles!
So cool to see these red sandstone cliffs
and sea caves.
Two of the many lighthouses are
Devils Island Lighthouse
and Raspberry Island Lighthouse.
 We also toured Hayward, Wisconsin.
Scott and Rich went to the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame.
Home of the biggest musky.
A must stop is Coops Pizza. Yummy!
We also stopped at Tremblay's Sweet Shop. 
This place will definitely test your will power!
We are sure you have heard of the 
Lumberjack World Championship. 
Did you know they have a day camp 
where kids can learn how to log roll?

Of course, we had to go to the AYCE (all you can eat) 
Friday night fish fry at a local tavern in Drummond. 
The place was very busy with the regulars so we were 
thankful  to get a table. Great fish dinner!
Part of the fun of traveling is experiencing the local festivals.
 We bought some blueberry popcorn, 
and a brat with blueberry relish!
Surprisingly they were delicious!
