Join us as we depart today for picturesque Door County, Wisconsin. Located on a 75-mile peninsula and surrounded by the waters of Green Bay on the west and Lake Michigan on the east, Door County has more than 250 miles of shoreline, with ten lighthouses and more than 40 islands in the county. Our first stop in Door Country will be at the Maritime Museum in Sturgeon Bay where we will get a guided tour of this world-class museum. Later we check into the Settlement Courtyard Inn of Fish Creek, WI where we will spend the next three nights. Tonight we will enjoy a traditional Door County fish boil dinner served picnic style at the Sandpiper Restaurant in Bailey’s Harbor.

Enjoy a continental breakfast at the hotel before we start our full day of touring through the scenic Door County countryside. A local guide joins us this morning for a tour of the Northern Door County Peninsula. You will explore the “off the beaten path” back roads as well as learn the history of the quaint little villages that make up this “Cape Cod of the Midwest”. A stop will be made for samples of the famous Wisconsin cheddars and homemade jams/jellies. A lunch stop at the Swedish Restaurant will include Swedish Pancakes, Meatballs, Ligonberries, and Dessert. This delightful sod-roofed building comes complete with live goats grazing on the roof. Time will be given to explore the gift shop after lunch. Later we drive through Wisconsin’s largest state park with a stop at an 1868 Lighthouse. The remainder of the afternoon will be spent in Bailey’s Harbor where you will have an opportunity to visit the Cana Island Lighthouse then explore the village. We return to the Settlement Inn in the late afternoon with time to relax and freshen up before heading off for another delicious dinner. Tonight we will enjoy a prime rib dinner at the Florian Steak House.

Continental breakfast is again included at the hotel this morning before departing for Gills Rock. We make a stop at the English Inn to pick up our box lunches then board the Island Clipper for a 6 hour tour. From the water we shall see the lighthouses on both St. Martens and Poverty Islands in the state of Michigan and then on to Wisconsin’s smallest state park, Rock Island. Here you will have the chance to hike the mile up to the fully period furnished Potawatomie Lighthouse or experience the beauty of the island. It’s back to the hotel to get ready for tonight’s BBQ dinner at the English Inn.

We enjoy one last continental breakfast at the hotel before boarding our motorcoach for our departure home. . We travel back through Wisconsin, arriving back in the Quad Cities in the early evening.
