Summer Roadtrip Day 4: New Glarus WI to Munising MI

This morning we added mom to our adventure and headed to Fond du lac to see the lighthouse.
From there, we drove to Oshkosh to see the lighthouse at Asylum Point. As we pulled up, mom and I started laughing because it was much smaller than anticipated. 
From there we decided to have lunch at a brewery in Green Bay but they were only serving cold club sandwiches for lunch that day (the cook was off for Father's Day) and almost everything else downtown was closed. We found a breakfast place that was open, so had breakfast for lunch. 

From there we headed to Michigan's upper peninsula, stopping to take pictures of the giant crane sculpture
and mosquito sculpture (at Rapid River MI)
While standing in the grass next to the highway, a tick found me (which I later felt crawling on my leg and then threw it out the car window). 

From there we went to kitch-iti-kipi (big spring), which was really cool. We enjoyed taking the hand-cranked raft across the spring and looking through the clear water.
We then visited Manistique, where we took a pictures of Paul Bunyan
And saw a big moose statue.
We also had dinner at Flatiron brewery.
On the drive to the motel near Munising, two deer crossed the road in front of us and we saw several more along the side of the road, along with several cranes.
