Rolled into Menominee via Route 35 right around 2 PM. I may actually be psychic or have a knack for sniffing out downtowns. We decided we would find someplace on the water to eat lunch but had no clue where to go. We get to an intersection and I just had a sense that we needed to turn left. We turned left and not half a mile down was the main drag through downtown Menominee right along the waterfront. And not far from that intersection was a restaurant looking out over the water. Perfect!
The place was called Murray’s, and it was a weird combo of Irish pub and white tablecloth fine dining. One side was the pub, the other side was the fine dining but it looked like the fine dining part was only for dinner. Anyway, we had a good lunch served by a sincere but very rookie waitress. I busted out the netbook and MiFi and we scoped out our route to Green Bay and hotels. We decided to stay at Days Inn right downtown so Peter called ahead and reserved some rooms.
Before we left, I took a couple of pictures. Then we headed out the way we came, and crossed the border into Wisconsin at Marinette. Then through Peshtigo (weird name for a town) and into Green Bay.
