Wisconsin

I had never been to Wisconsin, and decided to go. I flew to Milwaukee on Southwest, rented a car, and drove up along Lake Michigan to Door County. I also drove down Lake Michigan to Kenosha. I had a wonderful time exploring beautiful Door County, and saw 25 of Wisconsin's many lighthouses in 4 days! The variety was incredible.
