Stevens Point, Wisconsin

We spent a couple of days in Stevens Point.  This town is really nice and it reminded me a lot of Gatlinburg. We had a lot of fun here.

1st stop was to ride on the Wisconsin Ducks!  First on land then on water.

Off we go for some fun!





Nice beach area!


They have a huge amusement park here, too.

We walked all the downtown strip.  Very good walk.  

The Tallest Man to ever live, lived here.  Later we will visit a park that was dedicated in is honor.


I enjoyed traveling with my grandsons!  Great kids.





Sitting on a poor cow!


We had a great time in Stevens  Point.  Tomorrow we will spend the day visiting with Family in Plainfield, Wisconsin.

All of July Traveled with Joe, Corina, Mike and Xavier

July 2018, I traveled all month with Joe, Corina and the Boys.  It was a great trip to visit Joe's Family in Wisconsin, St. Louis, Missouri and visited several of his military friends on up to New Hampshire and also visited Washington DC.   This was an awesome road trip.
We left bright and early on July 1st.  Xavier and Mike are Happy Campers!

Joe planned this trip to where we made nightly stops at Military bases.  We traveled through Texas, Oklahoma and got to Whitman AFB, Knob Noster, Missouri.

July 2nd, got on the road again and traveled through Iowa, Minnesota and got to Pelican Lake, Wisconsin where Ms. Cathy Duda has a summer home.

I love these huge farms along the way.


We arrived at Cathy Duda's summer home.  She was Joe's school teacher here in Wisconsin.  We had a great few days with her.


Ms. Duda takes us boat riding on this beautiful  Pelican Lake.  Nice pontoon boat!















We had a delicious breakfast at Cindy's Country Cafe.  



It is a cool day but also sunny!

Next morning we had breakfast at Cindy's Country Cafe.  All food was delicious.
After breakfast, we headed to see the Bond River Falls Park-Michigan State Park.  These Falls are beautiful.  
Today, Ms. Duda  gave us a tour of Bond Falls Park, Michigan State Park.  Bond River feeds into Lake Superior.  

Beautiful Falls!






Back on the way home.  The drive was really nice.  We made a stop at an ice cream parlor.  Delicious!





On July 5th, we left Pelican Lake and headed to Stevens Point, Wisconsin.  Here we visited Joe's Sisters and Brother.  I did not take pictures but it was a big family.  There was 3 sisters, 1 brother and all their kids and grandkids.  We had an awesome time here.  They BBQ'd and we all was great.  It was pretty chilly here for me.  Not used to this July cold weather, but still enjoyed myself a lot.  Great Family!

On July 6, we spent the day at The Original Wisconsin Dells and rode on the Duck!  This was a great adventure.  This town has a huge amusement park.  The downtown area had many many shops.  We had a great time here.  

On The Duck - from land to water!




Rock formation is so pretty!  More to come!!
