It is a goal of mine to go to all 50 states by my 31st birthday. I only had 5 left so I thought spring break would be a good time to knock out Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. I talked my friend Jeff into going with me.

Lake Michigan in Michigan

We stayed in Green Bay the first night

Lake Michigan in Wisconsin

We went to Door County in Wisconsin. They call it the Cape Cod of the Midwest. Everything was closed when we went but I loved the road.


We went to the Henning Cheese Factory in Wisconsin. We were able to take a tour through the factory.

The 12,000 pound cheese block is the biggest they make. Here is a picture of one they were cutting into smaller sections.

The family who owns the cheese factory. It was started 95 years ago by the grandfather. The guy between Jeff and I is a master cheese maker and one a gold medal in the world competition for his peppercorn cheese.


The Maritime Museum in Mantitowac, Wisconsin.
We were able to tour a World War two submarine. It was pretty cool.
