We've always gone over on the S.S. Badger, a train ferry that was converted to carry automobiles and passengers between Ludington, MI and Manitowoc, WI. It's fairly inexpensive in comparison to having to drive through Chicago traffic on a holiday weekend. Nice way to travel, you can sleep the entire way over.
The Badger has a sister ship, the S.S. Spartan that has been tied up at dock for quite a while. They were built for the same reason at around the same time. The Badger is more advanced and had been heightened, but they are basically the same ships. They run off coal-fired boilers. The ship was fairly desolate above deck due to unseasonably cold temperatures so I was able to get some nice images sans people.
While in WI, we got to spend time with friends and their adorable child who is very photogenic. I had a field day last year shooting him and had a wonderful time taking photos of him again. One of my favorite shots came after some post processing in Lightroom. I swear this kid could be a spokeskid for Oskhosh.
Heading back over, it got very cold about half way across the lake, and there was an odd phenomenon where the sun was out, yet there was a low-lying fog.
