Hi everyone (finally!)
Well, I can tell you I have been having a great time since my last post! After telling you how spectacular Spectacular was, I was busy getting ready for our family vacation. It was a blur on Saturday as I was getting everything packed and doing last minute things... like all the laundry because I was gone for the 3 days before!!
We left for Wisconsin right after morning service on the 19th. We stopped in a little church in the evening and then headed over to House On The Rock Inn. We have been to this part of Wisconsin before and just love how peaceful it is and beautiful.
So, here is a run down of what we did!
Sunday: as above but went out for dinner and went swimming after we checked in. This is a picture of the "kiddie pool".
Monday: We went to the House On The Rock. This place is a collection of MANY things that someone want to get. I took us about 6 hours to get through it.
Tuesday: Cave of the Mounds cave tour and "panning for fossils and jewels". We really enjoyed our time... it was a tour with only us!! Shopping and swimming!
Wednesday: Mining Museum and tour...very scary the way people use to work!! Rollo Jamison Museum is one mans collection of incredible stuff from around that area. And last but not least.. Pendarvis House..yet another tour. This one was about one mans influence in the town and what it did to save it. Swimming again!
Pendarvis House
Thursday (AM): Checked out of above hotel and headed for a Dairy Farm. This tour was GREAT and we all got to try to milk the cow!! We learned so much and really enjoyed our time... it was a tour with only us again!!!
