Traveling with the Schroeders: Sheboygan, Wisconsin riverfront

Actually, it is Traveling with A Schroeder since I am here solo.  I got up too early, so a walk along the river front seemed like a nice idea.  I even got a job offer from a fishing charter!

Christmastide with the family

We spent our Christmas time in Novi and in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.  Our time in Novi was especially nice because we managed to have all of the children home for a number of days, although jobs took a few people away for a while.  Getting everyone together in one place is becoming harder and harder to do, and I know it will only get more challenging as time goes by.

The trip to Sheboygan was a little different as my dad was in rehab.  We got to visit him there for 25 minutes as he sat behind plexiglass and we talked over the phone.  I'm glad we got to do that much.  Thankfully, he has been released as is back at home.  Unfortunately, we had left and could not be part of the welcoming crew.

We (my brother, Paul, Laura, and I) managed to do a bit of shoveling for my parents.  On the way home, we stopped at the Mars Cheese Castle near one of the Kenosha exits.  Nathanael said it exceeded his expectations.  We were pretty sure it would.

Here are some photos.

Traveling with the Schroeders -- Trip to Sheboygan

It had been more than six months since I had seen my parents, and it had been about 3 years since Caleb had seen them, so we waited until Caleb was on vacation to make this trip to Wisconsin to see my parents.  We managed to get some yard work done for them, and we put Peter to work picking raspberries in their back yard.  My brother made the trip over from Fond du Lac to see us for the evening.  And then after a nice stroll out the the lighthouse at the Sheboygan marina, we came back home.  Here are some photos.

Notice how the harbor side is brown and the lake side is blue.
