Rhapsody Resort And Spa Wisconsin Dells

Still in Cheesy land and we still haven't had any cheese. Hello to everyone, this week we headed to Wisconsin and are now in Wisconsin Dells an area known for its multitude of water parks, indoor and out. There are so many water parks here its a little bit crazy, fortunately most have shut for the season ('cause it is starting to get c-c-cold) and our decisions were narrowed down for us. We ...

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

... model outside and put it on my trailer to prove it would be hefty enough, and then helped me put together and install the one I bought. It is amazing how friendly and helpful people become when you explain that you are living on the road, or they ask where home is and you point over your shoulder at the 8' x 20' box you are pulling down the highway. <br><br>I am finding that long distance hauling, even with a very good rack, is hell on the bikes. You can imagine ...

... as it was a Wyndam owned property, we could sit though a 2 hr presentantion, and we could get the passes for free. We knew of Wyndam and its good reputation, so provided they could entertain the children for that time, we agreed. Really enjoyed the presentation, think they're onto a winner - thought the rooms they showed us were magnificent, but Gary's not a spontaneous person, and they were never going to get a signature from us, on the first ...

Well today will be a short blog, not because it was a short day, in fact we made the longest journey of our trip, but because so little happened on it, except driving long straight roads across miles and miles of farmland. We got up early and decided to forego breakfast and go downtown and find a Diner. We planned to couple this with a visit to the town of Mitchell's main attraction, The Corn Palace. We were ...

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.

today, we continued along the rails to trails en route to reedsburg as we went end-to-end on the la crosse river trail, the elroy-spara trail, and the 400 trail. by far, the elroy-sparta trail was the coolest of the bunch because there were three old railroad tunnels that we got to walk our bikes through. we knew we were approaching the first tunnel when the trail started going up. the rail route was designed so that it keeps very slight, locomotive-friendly grade (no more than 3% or ...
