The wide variety of displays make the Wisconsin Maritime Museum an interesting stop this morning. You can even venture down into a submarine if you dare. We are spending the late afternoon aboard the SS Badger, Lake Michigan's large car ferry vessel. There is much to do aboard the ship; bingo, movies, a museum, gift shop, or just relaxing on the deck. This is such an interesting way travel as we continue on our way.
