Side View of Bridge

So after the stop for custard, we started working our way south and heading home but not with out a stop in Sturgeon Bay.

Sturgeon Bay is a bigger port than I expected and I was able to get some neat pictures there of some large ships. I also saw where they build Palmer Johnson yachts.

Bridge in Sturgeon Bay in open position.  Currently under repair.

One of the boats we saw there was the American Courage.  I found some interesting information about it on the internet.

After a stop in the port, we then Visited the Maritime Museum where there were some more cool things to see.

 After all of this excitement, there was really nothing left to do except to gas up and head home.

And really, it was quite a day for a drive.....
