Diamond Resorts – 901 Ski Run Blvd.,South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150, (800) 438-2929,   laketahoevacationresort.com

Q-Tips say: Great place. Beautiful views, nice rooms w/ kitchen facilities, a restaurant with fireplace/bar, exercise room, pool/spa/hot tub, clean rooms, arts/crafts and many things for the kids and families to enjoy.   Yes, it is part of a time share- and they do try to sell you a timeshare.  Many nearby restaurants, stores to enjoy.  At the time we went, they offered a Lake Tahoe Cruise special, one breakfast, and one dinner at Riva Rest. and an afternoon boat cruise around Lake Tahoe which included a buffet lunch and drinks for $100.00 for 2 people. Mrs. Q says: WHAT A DEAL !  We went before the ski season officially began.  But many things to do there in Summer, Winter, Fall, or Spring.

We did enjoy the company and the Diamond Resorts facilities.

ARTIMIS Lakefront Cafe – 900 Ski Run Blvd. S. Lake Tahoe, CA 96190, (530)-542-3322, ArtimisLakefrontCafe.com

Q-Tips say:  Nice view, good service but we ordered the gyros plate ( Strips of rotisserie Lamb, Greek salad, pita bread, tzaziki and feta), unfortunately the Lamb  was very dry and a expensive place.  Since we were visiting,  will not be there again – and that’s ok.

Q-Tips say: Super Pub to eat, drink and relax.  We had one of the best thin crust pizza – garlic/sausage with great sauce and lots of cheese. Drinks were awesome and so was the service.  Wish we lived closer – we would often be eating at MacDuff’s Pub.

Q-Tips Say: Took a cruise around the 2nd deepest lake in the US – Lake Tahoe.  Had great weather, and a delicious lunch with libations, which was included while on the boat. Would recommend this for anyone, even if you have younger kids with you.  Our daughter in law and son also enjoyed the ride and the luncheon buffet.  Great way to spend the day.

HOB NOB Supper Club – Rest. Racine Wisc. 10/2016

HOB NOB Supper Club – 277 Sheridan Rd., Racine, WI., (262) 552-8008, thehobnob.com

Q-Tips say: Yes, go and enjoy. Right on Lake Michigan, a full bar with friendly bartenders, good food, good friendly service, drinks, what’s not to like? Our long time friends suggested going here for dinner. For us it was an hour & a half drive so we decided to go see a few of the Museums and then go to Hob Nob. Was written up in the Chicago Tribune as one of the better Supper Clubs in Wisc. We did enjoy! Mrs. Q got a special treat from the “bar tender” when she mentioned she never tried a certain “bourbon.”
Supposedly the thing to drink for some of the “millennials” is “bourbon.”
Yes, the taster was smooth, delicious and a treat from the bartender. Thank you.

Yes, I did have to have an Old Fashion because that is a drink that Wisc. is famous for and supposedly originated here. Was delicious.

Everyone had something different. Entrees come with soup, salad and choice of potato. Mrs. Q had the Wiener Schnitzel – breaded veal, with lemon or a là holstein. Was delicious and such Hugh portions along with French Onion Soup/or Chicken Noodle and a salad plus the Q’s shared a Creme Brulee dessert and coffee. The other entree we had were Duckling – roasted brown and crispy served with orange sauce. Our friends chose: Tournedos of Tenderloin – topped with mushroom caps and Bearnaise sauce and a pasta dish of stuffed Manicotti.

Mrs. Q can’t forget to mention the ambiance.
Exactly what you would expect from a Supper Club. The hostess said over half of their customers come from Ill. Not surprised because Ill people know good food, drinks and nice ambiance when they see it. They do get busy over the weekend, so be sure to make a reservation. Spend the day seeing the sights and then go to Hob Nob.

Kenosha History Museum – Kenosha Wisc

Historical Museum – 220 51st Pl., Kenosha, WI 53140, (262) 654-5770, kenoshahistorycenter.org

Q-Tips say: Liked it. Covers some of the manufacturing of long ago and car history (the Edsel, etc.) when Kenosha was in its manufacturing heyday. Not far from the Civil War Museum so if you are there go see this one and the Public Museum next door to the Civil War Museum. Yes, drive around Simmons Island Marina and enjoy the views. There is a lighthouse near the Historical Museum that is privately owned by an artist and the Naval Base manages the Light. Go and enjoy, we did.

Civil War Museum – Kenosha Wisc.

Civil War Museum – 5400 1st Ave., Kenosha, WI 53140,(262) 653-4141, kenosha.org/civilwar/index.ht

Q-Tips say: We liked it. It not only covers the Civil War in great detail but other wars as well. Along as how they medically treated people at that time, etc. A “special” Veterans Memorial Gallery honors veterans of all wars. We especially enjoyed this exhibit. A wonderfully done exhibit with life size soldiers showing a common sense of duty, patriotism and honor, no matter where or when they serve or have served our nation to preserve our freedom including the Nurses.

Mrs. Q says: Did you know not until WW II did tobacco products enter the scene of our soldiers? The final exhibit is empty portraying “what might be the next war” they will have to exhibit. A little eerie, unsettling for Mrs. Q.
