Stevens Point & Chippewa Falls Breweries

Took a four-day trip from Sturgeon Bay to Eau Claire, stopping at multiple breweries, naturally. Stevens Point and Leinenkugels were two of the great photo stops. Leinenkugels is currently closed with production taking place in Milwaukee, but Molson Coors has kept the facility functional as if it could be turned on again tomorrow despite 20 months since being closed down. Sad to see it not functioning and surprising that an attempt by the Leinenkugel family to purchase it back was spurned . 

Queen Mary 2 Transatlantic Crossing 2026

 We were finally able to take the journey our families had made from Britain to the United States. With both of us having family arrivals in the 1630s it was important to me to do the crossing in the proper direction. The crossing starts in Southampton and takes a week to reach New York City. The North Atlantic was mostly overcast, but only had rough seas with 3-5 meter waves on Sunday. The Queen Mary 2, the last of the purpose-built ocean liners, was an elegant and effortless way to travel with no jetlag. I would make the trip again and take it in either direction now that I've followed my family.
