Road Trip - Summer 2018 Wisconsin; Boat, Bikes and Beer?

Just as I am getting settled in my nephew and niece-in-law’s cabin-more on that later, I invited myself on a pontoon boat ride and recumbent bike ride. The weather was perfect, the company even better and off we went on boating and biking adventures! My brother, niece and I went on a boat ride on Lake Winnebago and the next day it was a 10 mile bike ride. Some photos, especially on the bike ride were taken by my niece.
More about the bike ride; Bikes are secured in a trailer and we drive about 30 miles to the trailhead in De Pere. We’ll ride the Fox River trail to Green Bay. Once in Green Bay we’ll visit Copperstate Brewery, Titletown Brewery and Hagemeister Park. As they say, a great time was had by all!
Just to make it a little bit more challenging the site uploaded photos in a random order. You’ll be able to guess which are biking and which are boating! 🚲🚤
I hope you enjoy joining me on these great Wisconsin outdoor adventures!

Road Trip - Summer 2018 Taliesin Estate in Wisconsin-Frank Loyd Wright

I am going to declare I am an architect lover. Ancient, pre-war, post-war, Victorian, craftsman, mid-century, modern-I Love it all. As I entered Wisconsin through the “drift-less” southwestern corner I drove the Spring Green, Wisconsin. Frank Loyd Wright’s family settled here after his mother immigrated from Whales. A school and home are part of Taliesin. An estate designed by Frank Loyd Wright that is open to tours by reservation only. The origin of everything from the name to design to construction is fascinating. The two and a half hour led by Mickie was excellent! I wish I could add more details about the photographs but the new blog process is very cumbersome. I have annotated a few photos. Some photos are from the school but most are photos of the home. Sit back and enjoy a photographic tour of this gorgeous estate.
