Well, I barely have any internet access, so no pictures of yesterday in WI. We made it to 2 of 3 venues -- Cheese Factory and the Dells.
Unfortunately, when we arrived at the cheese factory at 1 PM, they had shut down production for the day and were just cleaning. Still a bit of fun and we loved our lunch of cheese, crackers, carrots, etc. I'll try to post pictures when I can.
Then we went to the Wisconsin Dells -- a ridiculously honytonk town of t-shirt shops, waterslides, amusement parks, etc. I had gone to the Dells while in college and enjoyed none of that stuff, but instead loved the geology and natural beauty behind all the glitz. I really loved going on a boat ride on the Wisconsin river and seeing the beautiful rock formations that were cut through when the river formed. At one point, you get off the boat and walk through narrow, craggy, path of Witch's Gulch, with rock formations on either side of you, and the temperature dropping 15 degrees. It's really beautiful.
So, we did that. Laura and I thought it was really beautiful -- "A" thought it was nice too, but disliked the tour guide and his silly comments ("This is Indian's Headdress" -- assigning names to the various formations). The pilot of the boat, a perky college girl had the most squeeky minnie-mouse voice you ever heard -- we tried not to laugh.
After that, we went on the scariest rollercoaster I have ever been on -- "A" enjoyed it far more than me! Laura sat out -- good choice!
By this time it was heading toward bedtime and we hadn't eaten, so it was more crackers and cheese, and a can of soup. It was better than it sounds!
This morning, we are eager to head off to Joanna's where we'll stay for 5 nights. It will be great to see Joanna, and great to have a break from driving!
