October 4 & 5, 2008
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.
I'd still like to go on a real cruise!!!
