Those of you who live in Wisconsin know that summer is short so when you have the opportunity to get out on a boat, take advantage of it!
My August adventure lead me to a very LARGE boat. The Lake Express High Speed Ferry. www.lake-express.com. It was time to sail the local high seas... Otherwise known as Lake Michigan! My boyfriend Dave and I boarded the beautiful Ferry for our 6:00am sail. We also brought the car along as you can park below deck. There were many guests who drove their motorcycles aboard as well. The two and a half hour trip provided some great sight seeing opportunities as well as some much needed hot coffee. We arrived in Muskegon around 8:30am and drove off to explore the great state of Michigan.
We decided to stay in Grand Rapids and make a weekend road trip out of it, driving back to Milwaukee on Monday afternoon. During our stay in Grand Rapids, we found a number of cool spots to enjoy the local microbrews and wines as well as their food scene. We visited Hop Cat, Stella's, Grand Rapids Downtown Market and my personal favorite shop 'Art of the Table.'
Michigan has a number of great wineries, breweries, shops and tourist attractions and this trip provided a nice weekend escape to enjoy all of the above.
