Although summer break is over, there's still time to enjoy a day trip to Merrimac where you'll find the free 7 minute ferry. Vehicles, bikes, and walk-ons are welcome. We like to park our vehicle, grab an ice cream cone and "walk-on" the ferry.
The ride is short and as such there's not much to see. Seagulls, boats, jet skis - that's what we saw, but it's such a fun, quick ferry ride for little kids.
Once on the other side we found a grassy spot to relax, watch the boat traffic, and throw rocks.
After watching the ferry travel back and forth a couple of times, we were ready to board for our return trip.
When you find yourself amidst a pile of travelers you never know what you might see. Today we saw a woman prop her stuffed lion at her vehicle window so it could "take a look around". Crazy, but it sure got the attention of the ferry passengers, including us.
We love daytripping. Leave your Wisconsin suggestions in the comments here or at Facebook. Thanks.
Logging you in...
