Winter Getaway December 5-6, 2021 Elkhart Lake, WI

Day 1: Join [us] for a getaway like no other. Hop aboard our warm cozy motor coach and leave the driving to us. We are heading to beautiful Elkhart Lake, WI. Our travels today will be filled with food, drink, and fun. Getting into the Christmas spirit is a requirement. We will be stopping for an included lunch along the way. The Wreath Factory and Kohler Design Center will be on the list of our stops. This afternoon we will check into the won- derful Osthoff Resort for the evening to enjoy all the charm and excitement that Christ- mas brings to the resort. We will have an amazing dinner together and finish our evening with a horse drawn wagon ride. Day 2: That will not be the end of our fun [together] because we will wake up to a fabulous breakfast and head to The Siberian Outpost in Malone, WI. Sure to be one of our favorite stops. The Siberian Outpost offers dogsled rides and group demonstrations. We will learn the history of the Iditarod and the training of one of winter’s most interesting sports. The Siberian Outpost is a labor of love. Visitors get up close and personal with the dogs, learning a bit about their different stories and dispositions and getting a feel for the amount of manpower required to keep the operation running. Then back to the Osthoff Resort for the wonderful Old World Christmas Market. We will stroll the aisles of a grand heated tent bedecked with fragrant boughs of fresh evergreens and the tantalizing scents of roasted almonds and Nüremberg bratwurst as we browse for unique and specialty items among international and regional artisans. After enjoying the Christmas Markets, we will board the motor coach and head for home with a stop or two along the way.

I know it’s not football season, but we are heading to Lambeau Field to check things out. It will feel like we are tailgating when we arrive for a fun lunch right at the stadium. We are planning a visit to the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame and have a Legendary Stadium Tour. Training camp will be in session too.
