What to do on the way to Randy's house...

[GCJenks204]

You can go through Madison I39S and down that way to don't go anywhere near Chitcago

I was thinking more specifically about getting to MI. I think the only way I can convince here is to hit the Christmas Store in Frankenmuth, MI...

There si

Is there an amusement park down by Rockford somewhere?

there is a Six Flags in Gurnee.

If it’s got to be Touristy... I’ve be to both and can say I’d go back.

There is also a Ferry in Manitowoc just south of Green Bay.

Our first Christmas together Tamara ordered some ornaments for me from them and has always wanted to go back.

This trip is shaping up to have all kinds of possibilites!!!

Come right across the U.P. and go to the Pictured Rocks, Tahquamenon Falls, go to Hedgerow’s hometown and see the Soo Locks, then come down across the Mackinaw Bridge south to Frankenmuth to the Christmans store.

If you have time hit Mackinaw Island before crossing the bridge

If you like Country music there is Nashville!

I'm sure the kids would love Wisconsin Dells and we have WAY better cheese curds than Culver's.

 

[Roadfxr]

Nothing against Culver’s but most gas stations in Wisconsin have better cheese curds then Culver’s...

You could do the boat tour thing at the macinac at the sault at marie. That would be cool. My.parents did that years ago and enjoyed it.

You could pick me up but not sure you want me on your family vacation

 

[maulhead]

Not sure if this on your route, but this something worth while, I've been on it twice.

Of course there’s the smoky mountains Gatlinburg and pigeon Forge. Great mixture of Touristy Stuff and the national park.

Being an east Tennessean I was going to recommend that, but it may be out of the way for him.

That may require some research. Elliott is all about trains, his birthday is coming up later this month and we are taking him and some friends on a local train to celebrate. Would mormally be a Steamy but because of the coller weather will be a diesel.

Just saw in the other post you will be coming out of MI. If that’s the case, the Smokies/Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge wouldn’t be too far out of the way.

Minocqua is a nice area. Im a little over an hour drive south from Stump Shot. About an hour south of me is Wisconsin Dells. All the outdoor water parks will be closed by then, but they have a ton of indoor ones, my family has been to most.

The upper dells boat tour would probably be pretty cool as the trees should be changing.



My girls, my oldest, being a goofball as usual.


You stop twice. Once is a short walk through a rock cut. The other stop is to a rock pillar that a German Shepard jumps back and forth off a bluff.

Minocqua and the Dells offer alot of the same stuff.

West of Madison is Cave of the Mounds. Guided tour through a cave. Both my girls have enjoyed that.

If you come through Wisconsin and wanted to avoid Chicago, you could always hit Hwy 51 south out of Rockford and then cut west further down, even cut west through Kentucky.

If you do plan on Frankenmuth, let me know. It’s about 40min from me. I’ll meet up for dinner or something. Couple family style German restaurants there, multi course and good food.
