There is absolutely nothing for your kids... Make it a twosome with
Mary... It's slow, quiet, and tranquil... If you have done Door
County, etc., it won't measure up I suspect... It's certainly not
Mackinac Island with shops lining every street... There is no Grand
Hotel... No horse manure ripening in the sun, either... It will make
a nice 4 hour stop on the way to somewhere else... Bringing bicycles
would enhance your ability to cover ground..

The airport limo is not allowed to carry pets except seeing eye dogs...
He looked at our furball of a Chipoo (named Pasta) and said, "Looks
like a seeing eye dog to me.", and that was that... One resturant in
town refused to let us have Pasta outside on the patio during lunch so
we went up the street to another and they have a big porch... Pasta was
more than welcome on their porch (and got lots of petting from everyone
that went past as he is a cute little rascal and he knows it) and we
had a great lunch... I had an outstanding grilled Portobello mushroom
and veggies sandwich on freshly baked french bread buns...

Welke airport is the commuter air taxi terminal... Used to be a private
gravel strip for the air taxi's, but with paving (and I suspect with
some tax dollars) it has become a public airport... Trees are close in
on the wind favored 9-27 and a pilot needs to have some minimal skills
at short fields... Otherwise he can go to the big, empty, airport out
in the middle of the island... A tired, refugee from a junk heap, 150
horse Apache, at very close to gross weight got in and out of Welke
just fine...

There is a bicycle rental and gift shop on main street that has three
(count em) tandem airplanes (Cub, etc.) on floats at the back door that
hop tourists on flights around the island...
