Ramada Wisconsin Dells

... to an indoor water park called Kalahari, with not surprisingly an African theme.<br><br>The water park had heaps of slides, we both really liked the one that was like a big drain, you slide down then whip out into a big bowl shape and spin round and round until you are dumped unceremoniously into a big pool of water. They also had one of the first rollercoaster water slides. This ride ...

Today we went to the Wisconsin Dells on a Duck ride.<br>These old vehicles were used in World War 2 to land the troops in the Normandy and also in the Vietnam war.<br>As a tourist attraction someone had the idea to take these boats or whatever for tours on and around the Wisconsin River.<br>My mum, step dad, and me enjoied a nice ride through different territories and over the Wisconsin River. Very nice country side.<br><br>Till

6/17/09<br><br> <br><br>We&#8217;ve had a lot of challenging adventures on the road. Jim captured it best in an email he sent to some friends: <br><br>We have been on the road almost three weeks now. In that time, we have had about 2 full sunny, warm days. The rest have been a combination of cold, wet, damp, rain, overcast, snow and hail. Other than the two warm days (70's), it has mostly been highs in the upper 40's to upper 50's with lows in the 20's and 30's. So ...

Day 1: We left Mt Rushmore about 6.30am. The objective: to cover as many miles as we could. We drove through the vast plains of South Dakato, to the agriculture fields of Idaho, over the Missisippi River, through unbelievable strong winds, rain, and then sunshine, (and with a couple of the kids, not even getting out of their pyjamas!), we finally reached Wisconsin, 12 hours and 750 miles later - big drive and I am tired. Day 2: We stopped. Did ...

... way and asked if it got warmer as they went west - my, my, are they in for a surprise! After breakfast we went to the Corn Palace, which on the inside is a Basketball Arena and Auditorium and on the outside looks like a bit of a cross between an old Odeon Cinema and the Taj Mahal, covered in ears of Corn on the Cob - do you get the picture? If not look at ours or go to the web. It is basically a giant bird ...

I have always said the worst part about going to China is getting ready to go to China. I am a little bit smarter now and travel very light. This trip I am taking a carry on suitcase and my laptop case. I will most likely check the carry on as I really dont feel like carrying it all the time. Oh and that 3-1-1 ******** that ...

We arrived... got drinks... set up the tents while drinking... pretty happy before 5pm... oh no... no wood for the bonfire... went to gas station.. bought marshmellows, more drinks, snacks, hot dogs... walked out and noticed big pile of firewood... oops... guess we should get some of that too...

... to the shear cliffs that were a haven to many rock climbers who we met along the way. Many were older than us. The rock formations and views here were incredible. We took a boat tour through the Upper Dells where the Wisconsin River winds through sandstone cliffs and rock formations. Over the years, the Wisconsin Dells has become quite the resort town, but we passed up the water parks and mini golf.

... had 6 waterpark areas...3 outdoors and 3 indoors. There was this crazy ride called the hurricane, an indoor wave pool, and many other interesting things I'm never seen before. There were originally only 3 of us, but we were later joined by another 3 who live nearby in Reedsburg. Got some tasty pizza from Moosejaw, and spent the night playing Wii and hanging out. It was a good birthday party. We got a short hour of swimming in this morning and then headed home.

... upon entering, and it took nearly 10 minutes to walk through. at the behest of one of our other team members who had ridden the trail before, i opted not to use a flash light and kind of stumbled across the wet, rocky tunnel floor. although i couldn't see much, it was a really neat experience to see the light at either end and to see the silhouettes created by other folks in the tunnel. i was fairly wet by the time i emerged on the other side of the tunnel because the condensation ...
