Whitefish Dunes

Along Lake Michigan's coastline lies an 865 pristine acres that serves to support a fragile ecosystem called Whitefish Dunes State Park. Haven't been to this place yet, but I think it's worth seeing and visiting.

Whitefish is in Door County in Wisconsin. There is the Whitefish Dunes beach that is accessible for a $10 vehicle sticker that can be availed at the Welcome Center of the park.

The beach is in fact selected by Wisconsin Trails magazine as "the best beach in the state", which is the most visited day-use park in Wisconsin.

The dunes offers marvelous hiking adventures such as the Brachiopod Trail where you see fossils of life that inhabited the place about 425 milion years ago when it was an ocean floor.
There's also a boardwalk and stairs that will take you on top of "Old Baldy" just to uniquely view the lake, as well as the forests and meadows nearby.

If you are one person who also avidly supports a wide diversity of habitats, this is an ideal place to go.

Have fun :).

Lake Geneva, WI

The birthday girl, cousin Pearl

Me and cousins before dinner time

Hanging out beside the lake

After spending half of the day at the Renaissance Fair, we thought of driving to Lake Geneva, 45 minutes away from Kenosha.

I like the place - an ideal one to spend a worthwhile vacation during summer. This is the place to escape from the hustle and bustle of a busy city.

We only spent few hours hanging out beside the lake, but I discovered there are many things to enjoy being there. We thought of trying the lake cruise but we were not able to make it for their last trip. It was still worthwhile...we celebrated our cousin's birthday with a hearty dinner!

Fun!

Bristol Renaissance Fair

Aug. 30, 2008

This was one of our most memorable trip visiting our family in Illinois. Our weekend trip was spent going to Kenosha, Wisconsin which is a little of more than an hour drive from Niles, IL.

We visited the Bristol Renaissance Fair there. This fair opens in summer only (in Wisconsin) so when we got there, it was the last day! :).

A fairy on the tree! (She's real beautifully painted!)

Renaissance Fair such as this has been opened for more than 21 years where nearly 31 million guests get the chance to go back to a time when knights were noble, maids were merry, and turkey legs were titanic! - it's where you get to party like it's the year 1599! Wanna experience being in the 15th century? Well... this will be the world you'll get into :).

Am about to eat the titanic turkey leg! :)


The whole gang!


The parade and the performances

You can experience various activities inside such as entertainment, food, games, etc...discover at least 100 free things to do as well!

We had a blast!...I and my husband enjoyed the fun with our family group.
