A Must Read : "There is a place where people from the Neon City of Vegas, with all the flashing lights, shows and non-stop partying go to when they want a vacation, that place is Kenosha Wisconsin. In a town where everything sparkles and entertainment is everywhere our escape to Kenosha was fun, exciting and relaxing. Visiting museums like the Civil War Museum left us with a sense of how much more important the history of our country is than some glowing neon lights. The art exhibits at the Kenosha Public Museum (we got to view Transparent Watercolor Society of America exhibit) were amazing in the quality and the variety of subject matters. The best part is the museums felt friendly with a joy about art that was infectious and as you viewed each work you were excited to see the next one. Unfortunately we ran out of time to see the Dinosaur Discovery museum. We visited several different pubs that didn’t feel like huge commercial establishments, but each had their own personalities as well as Cider (my new favorite) on Draft and Cheese Curds. The restaurants also had individual personalities, we especially loved the Coffee Pot with their wonderful breakfasts, The Boat House Pub and Eatery for incredible Clam Chowder, Capt. Mikes for Midnight Mac N’ Cheese with Lobster (gastrorgasmic) and Twisted Cuisine with incredible and interesting combinations including Captain Crunch encrusted Tuna. For people who are used to World Class cuisine, we had to loosen pants and belt buckles because the food was unique and irresistible. The town has a mix of old and new that feels comfortable with Old Style Trollies going down streets filled with a mix of eclectic shops that pull you in and even if you are just window shopping you might just find that one thing you have to purchase that you have never seen anywhere else. That is all before you get to the water. We were lucky enough to get to go sailing while in Kenosha and I think that sailing left me more relaxed than a massage at the spa. We spent a week in Kenosha and it just wasn’t enough time to do all that we wanted to do, which just means the next time we want an escape to the arid desert we will return to Kenosha." - Carrie Anne from Pahrump, NV, 6/13
