We love road trips and this summer we will pack Ziggy into the car and head to Madison, Wis. and the Wisconsin Dells before traveling north to Door County and the Upper Peninsula.

Moon guide

No, it is not a guide to the moon, but a series of travel guides on individual states. I've belatedly added the Moon guide to Wisconsin to our traveling library.

We generally get a new guidebook for our trips. If you get only one or two tips about sights or cafes or restaurants out of it, it's already paid for itself. It's also useful for validating your own planning.

In the Age of Google, you can quickly patch together your own guidebook. I'd already found out that L'Etoile is the best restaurant in Madison (and booked a table for July 14 in January!), that Devil State Park is great for a hike, and that Door County is wonderful and quaint -- but it's nice that Thomas Huhti, who wrote this guide, agrees.

And there will be details about Frank Lloyd Wright, about Milwaukee, and about the Dells that we simply couldn't take the time to research ahead of time. So I think it will be useful. But I didn't go overboard and order the one for Michigan, too.
