Stuck on where to go this summer? Have you considered Wisconsin?

Truly one of the most beautiful states in the Midwest, and the place that made me fall head over heels in love with the region, Wisconsin is full of outdoor adventures, stunning state parks, and fun for the whole family.

📍Steal our 1 week road trip itinerary to see the best of Wisconsin:

Day 1️⃣ & 2️⃣: Explore Milwaukee. There are so many fun things to see in this city- you definitely need a couple days to explore it all!
✨ Must see places: Mitchell Park domes, Milwaukee Public Museum, hike 7 bridges trail and play in Lake Michigan, eat dinner at Don’s TV Repair Speakeasy, Milwaukee Public Market.

Day 3️⃣: Drive north to Door County, stopping along the way to explore Cherney Maribel Caves County Park. Take the Maribel Caves trail to explore caves, ruins, and pick wild raspberries.

Day 4️⃣ & 5️⃣: Explore Door County. We stayed in Sister Bay, any of the towns in Door County are darling! There are so many places to explore, and the most adorable coffee shops and restaurants lining the bay.
