Is a 11 hour drive for us. Plus with Branson right there you will never run out of something to do. And silver dollar city.

My wife and kids like to go window shopping while on vacation and they really didn’t find anything to do when we were down there. We stayed about 20 minutes from Osage Beach, I can’t remember the name of the town we were near. I just remember we were near the little iguana arm because we would take my youngest water skiing every evening.

I have thought about going to Table Rock lake but that’s a couple hours further away from us up here in east central MN but it’s not off the table. Table rock Lake is just over 700 miles from our house and probably close to 10-12 hours while pulling a boat so that’s probably the farthest we would go.

Please help me out with giving us some ideas of places to go for a week with a boat that might have something for my wife and two daughters might have something to do. Apparently they get bored if they spend 8-10 hours a day in a boat for 4 or 5 days in a row, I don’t get it...

Have you done Bayfield WI/Apostle Islands or Door County? Bayfield has lots of shopping, B&B's, and restaurants, and so does Door County. I plan on taking my R5 to the Apostles this summer or next as my wife and kids have never been, and I haven't been since I was in a 20 foot Sea Ray in college. IMO, it's hard to beat the summer boat trips in northern MN, WI, and Michigan. The grass is not always greener further south.

I went to Bayfield and around a few of the Apostle Islands when I was about 15 years old with my parents and my younger sister. The 4 of us plus another family of 3 hopped in our early 80’s something Larson 18’ fiberglass boat with a 120 hp inline 4 cyl. engine. I vaguely remember the trip but I remember Lake Superior was glass calm the day we were out on the water and we woke up the next morning to the waves breaking over the break walls to the marina. Good thing the boat was back on the trailer! I also remember that we nearly ran out of gas that day, my dad put a 5 gallon can in the boat with us for a just in case and he dumped that in and could have used another just in case can.

The only problem I wee with going there is my youngest daughter wants to water ski every day. I know the water can get kinda warm in the smaller bays but the water isn’t very warm anywhere else.
