Jeff and I have been married for 30 years and have 3 beautiful daughters and 8 adorable grand kids. Jeff is an Engineer and I'm a full-time Domestic Engineer myself. (and love every minute of it!!!) We moved around the country for about 7 years when our girls were younger following Nuclear Power Plant Start Ups. Home is and always will be Idaho. We enjoy camping and traveling and spending time together but our main love is our family and spending time with them. Wisconsin is the place we call home for the time being and hope that this blog will help close the gap between Winconsin and Idaho.
We decided to take one last ride before the weather turns cold so we jumped on the Harley and headed up Door County to see the beautiful fall colors! It was a great ride and the country side was awesome!!! Wisconsin has lots and lots of trees and when they are changing colors it's a sight to behold.
We did end up getting to go on a cruise after all! It was a mini-curise across Lake Michigan on the authentic Steamship the "S.S. Badger". It was a relaxing four hour, 60 mile cruise. Blending tradition and nostalgia, the Badger gave us a rare opportunity to enjoy a little history by stepping back into the past on a journey that took us from Manitowoc, Wi to Ludington, MI. We thought it would be interesting to go on the last operating steamship. It was fun. Not all that exciting or anything but we can say we did it. We had a state room that left a little to be desired but we didn't really expect it to be something really great anyway. We could have spent the night on the ship but decided to get a nice room in Ludington instead. We had a great meal at a "Big Boy" near the hotel that night. The next morning we headed back to the ship and spent the next four hours just relaxing on our way back. While on board we did some shopping in the gift shop, watched a short movie about the ship, ate and just relaxed. All in all it was a good experience.
What an accomplishment in this day and age! But we did it and are going for 30 more!
I love Jeff and our life together. He's just the best! I had wanted to go on a cruise for our 30th Anniversary but Jeff's work schedule just wouldn't let it happen. We did go out for a really nice dinner at a place called "The Wellington" in Green Bay. It was perfect for a nice, romantic, anniversary dinner.
