drinking fancy sodas in this great city, it is time
to check into the Best Western Plus for our
overnight stay. We will spend the evening at our
hotel and will have time for the pool, along with
games and activities for you to enjoy. Our hotel
is close to the Milwaukee International Airport.
Maybe a plane is leaving for Germany?
You are traveling to the
LARGEST city in Wisconsin! Get
ready for all the sights, sounds
and tastes of this great city on
Lake Michigan. We are stopping
in Fond du Lac for our included
lunch at La Tapatia Mexican Restaurant. Hope
your taste buds will be ready for some good
Mexican food! After lunch we will head to Kelly’s
Country Creamery. This family
makes 300 flavors of ice cream
on their dairy farm. What kind
of ice cream cone will you find
lickin’ good?

Good Morning Milwaukee!
After rolling out of bed and enjoying your
included breakfast at the hotel, it is time to
visit the Milwaukee Public Museum! Let’s get
a taste of adventure with the museum’s special
exhibit, ULTIMATE DINOSAURS! Wander
through a tropical garden with colorful free-flying
butterflies. Do you wonder how people lived
before computers and cell phones? We find out
when we tour the Streets of Old Milwaukee.
We are back on
the motorcoach
and heading
to the big city!
Our first taste
of Milwaukee will be a tour at
Sprecher Brewery. We will start
our visit in the gift shop which
is full of Sprecher memorabilia.
The tour will take us through
the Old World brewing traditions of beer and the
making of eight kinds of gourmet sodas. After
the brewery tour, the next best thing to being in
Germany is the Indoor Beer garden where our
included pizza dinner, Root Beer sampling and
music sampling will be enjoyed.
Later in the morning we will attend a program at
the Planetarium Dome. This is going to be very
fun and our feet will get a rest! After the show we
will enjoy an included lunch at the museum and
shopping at the Museum Marketplace.
There are so many activities to do at the beautiful
Milwaukee lakefront. You will see people riding
bikes, jogging, walking their dogs, and flying
MORE…
After a day of eating ice cream, pizzas and

kites! The Gift of Wings Kite Company at
Veteran’s Park is giving us a kite demonstration.
We will learn how these beautiful
kites soar into the sky. What will
the kites look like? It will be a big
surprise! It will be interesting to
see how the kites come down to
the ground.
After our zoo adventure we will
board the motorcoach and travel
to the Bast Bell Museum and Fire
Hall. The Germantown Historical
Society will “willkommen” us
to their barn that displays over
5,000 bells!
After some jam packed days
of touring it is time for games or a movie on
our motorcoach as we travel back to Cental
Wisconsin. We ate a lot of German food in
Milwaukee; so let’s enjoy our included dinner at
Grazie’s Italian Restaurant in Steven’s Point.
It is time to head back to the hotel for a short
break and get ready for our next Taste of
Milwaukee. Our included dinner will be at the
famous Mader’s German Restaurant located in
the Historic Third Ward District downtown on the
Milwaukee River. You will dine in a room that is
filled with medieval armor! After dinner we will
visit the gift shop where we will see hundreds
of beer steins. People from all over the world
come to Mader’s to enjoy the German food and
celebrate special times.
