Are the best road trips fueled by gasoline or sugar? Yes! Is it healthy to consume an entire Danish Kringle on a day trip? Who cares! What happens on this adventure stays on this adventure, and a classic Wisconsin snack will lead you into a Dairy State outing you won’t forget. Here’s a fun Wisconsin road trip along the Lake Michigan coast.

First things first: stop at O & H Danish Bakery for some Kringle. This classic establishment has several Racine area locations, including a couple spots that are right off of Highway 94. They have a ton of great Kringle flavors, including almond, turtle, cream cheesecake, and cinnamon roll.

As you head north on Interstate 94 with Kringle in hand, you’ll find yourself in the state’s largest city. There’s a ton to see and experience in Milwaukee, but if you have just a little time, take a swing along the shoreline to see iconic sights like the Milwaukee Art Museum, Veteran’s Park, and Bradford Beach.

While you could spend all day in Milwaukee, we only have so much time and so much Kringle. Port Washington is a beautiful waterfront town that’s worth exploring in it’s own right. It’s home to beautiful lighthouses and a charming downtown.
