We’ve been here a little over a month. It’s probably time to share some pictures that we’ve taken of the area. The first weekend we arrived and Mike was here briefly we spent a couple of days downtown.
It didn’t take long to discover the ice-cream parlor. The girls wanted a flavor that matched their outfits.
Of course, we had to ride the trolley car. And at only $.25 per person, we would have been silly not to.
There are a few museums, the Kenosha Public Museum, Civil War Museum, and Dinosaur Museum.
The downtown area has several cute shops.
And look at this darling park nestled between a corner of buildings.
Each Saturday from May through October the Harbor Market takes place at Harbor Park along Lake Michigan. Local artisans, food growers, and businesses set up booths to sell their goods and services. There is also a fabulous fountain in which the lake breeze helps the spray the water around the area. The kids loved it.
We’ve been keeping busy going to the RecPlex most days. The girls love to go to “Kids’ Court” while I sweat away in the fitness area. On occasion, we’ll go to the little water park they’ve got in there. Hopefully soon we’ll visit the private “beach” located on the grounds at the RecPlex. It’s actually a man-made lake (fairly large though) for members only. We’ve seen many people out on the lake windsurfing and such. Looks like fun, but I doubt I’d ever do it.
Still many projects to do around here. We started unpacking the basement last week, and it still haunts us with it’s never-ending piles. A rather large pile is growing, the future-rummage-sale pile. Man, we have a lot of junk.
