Sat Sept 6 Milwaukee to Mariette WI

This morning we got up and drove to Sheboygan to meet with our friends Tom & Nancy who are here helping with Tom's mom.  We met at the Kohler Design Center where they have the Great Wall of China.  The Design Center is part showroom, part museum.

Next we visited the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay.  Have you ever seen a Big Boy?  We seen three of them and there was one here.  From what we've read there are only eight Big Boys left.  Big Boy is the name given to the very large steam engine.  Take a look at the pictures and you'll see one.

Then it was off to Door County, on the peninsula of WI.  Take a look at the map and you'll see what I referring to.  It sounds so nice but the Native Americans called "porte de morts" which translate to Death's Door, later shortened to Door County.  We drove about halfway up the peninsula to Sturgeon Bay, we had to decide what we wanted to see so cut out the full peninsula.

We went back to Green Bay because we decided to see Lambeau Field.  We ended up taking a tour that lasted 90 mins.  It was a good tour, take a look at our pictures.  There was a game on Sunday so the place was a buzz with activity.  We also couldn't get a hotel room $$$$ so had an hour drive north to Marinette.
