Bringing groups of God's people together to view God's world.

We are excited to announce four opportunities to join us this fall/early winter as we head every which way across the USA!  The first two are short small-group Mercedes Sprinter van tours departing from New Ulm with additional starting options at MSP (for those flying in) or Bloomington Lutheran (for those who wish to drive to the Twin Cities and leave their vehicle parked there). The final two are lengthier flight/bus tours with an option to join a group flight from MSP (with a parking/shuttle option from New Ulm or Bloomington) or meet us at the official starting points (Boston BOS or Los Angeles LAX).

Aug 29-Sep 1. Weekend in the Ozarks departs from New Ulm venturing south to KS, MO, and AR to see Sight & Sound's David along with The Great Passion Play and WELS worship at the Mildred Cooper glass chapel. Additional highlights include The Haygoods, Crystal Bridges, Lambert's Cafe, 

Sep 2-5. Minnesota Wildlife and Waterfalls depart from New Ulm heading north to the stunning Superior shore where we'll explore the Superior National Forest's fabulous flora and fauna...wolves and bears, oh my! Sensational state parks (i.e. Gooseberry Falls, Split Rock Lighthouse, Temperence River) dot the map all the way to Grand Portage (home to the state's highest falls) at the Canadian border.

Sep 22-Oct 4. Autumn in New England flies east to Boston to kickoff a 6-state adventure including Acadia Park, Fenway Park, and the region's renowned fall foliage. We'll spend 2 nights in each state,  tour its top sites, taste some of its signature delicacies (lobster, clam chowder, Boston cream pie, and of course...baked beans). A cruise on Lake Champlain, a tram up the White Mountains, a coastal walk along Newport's mansions, a scenic drive through Cape Cod, a pilgrim's dinner in Plymouth - this trip will truly immerse and inspire you in New England scenery, history, and culture.

Dec 31-Jan 13. California Cruisin'  flies west where all the leaves aren't brown and the sky's not gray for 3-night pre-cruise and post-cruise stays in sunny CA. We'll ring in the New Year at the beloved Rose Parade and enjoy visits to the Getty Center, Reagan Library, the Queen Mary, Joshua Tree NP, Palm Springs, and San Diego. Our 7-night Royal Princess cruise (Jan 3-10) includes a lovely mix of time at sea (first and last 2 days) and port visits (day 3-5 in Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerta Vallarta).
