It may come as a shock to your kids, but there is life beyond social media. This tour is your chance to put aside screen time and increase your family time. Hop a ride on a century-old carousel.

Wonder Pick - Barley & Burger

Wonder Pick: Barley & Burger

This small, crowded restaurant is a local favorite. It combines the nostalgia of great movies with some new and unexpected burger combinations. Try the Godfather (fried mozzarella, marinara, pepperoni and fresh basil) or the Marty McFly (american cheese, chili, slaw and mustard) with a side of gourmet tater tots. Then, faster than you can reach 77 miles per hour in your modified Delorean, your food will arrive.

Wonder Picks - Showside Grill

Wonder Pick: Michael's Showside Grill

The more you weigh, the harder you are to kidnap. EAT DESSERT. That’s the feeling here at Michael’s Showside Grill. Take their advice. Though it’s a full service grill, you’ll be tempted to skip the meal and go straight to dessert. Chocolate mousse pie, oreo cheesecake, blackberry cobbler. . . drooling yet? Before entering a sugar coma, load up on their fresh seafood or burger of the day. Think hard about coming back Friday and Saturday nights. You can say it’s for the live music, though we all know it’s for the coconut creme pie.

Country Doctor Museum

Country Doctor Museum

Long before waiting rooms and insurance forms and co-pays, the country Doctor was the highest form of medical care. He would travel by buggy to your farm to fix what ails you. Broken bones, aches and pains, random rashes ---they were all diagnosed and treated in the comfort of your home. What did all of this cost? There were no surprise emergency room bills with zeros to infinity. Most transactions were settled with a bushel of apples, a few pounds of ham and a little cash. Whatever was available. The job of a country doctor was to care for the people first and worry about payment later. Imagine that.
