Christmas Mountain Village Wisconsin Dells

We had a good time at The Wilderness resort. However, their customer service sucks! I found out later that is was not just us. Some other people we know went there about a month later and had the same poor customer service experience.

We enjoyed the indoor water parks and laser tag. Later that night we went to Ho Chunck Casion and had a little fun on the slot machines.

... designs that integrated the indoors and outdoors. We visited his home and architecture school (Hillside School) which both had beautiful designs and open spaces. His home was a modular style design and has reinforced our hope of one day building a modular style home – eventually.

The footy has been happening and the season is nearly over, we are heading to Chicago for the ...

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

But, in spite of the weather and the saga of misadventures, we are very much enjoying the life of leisure. I have to say that it did take awhile to start getting into the groove and routine, especially when it seemed like I was having to spend a lot of time fixing stuff. The trailer seemed all to small and confining at first (partly due to not being able to spend much time outside without getting cold and damp), but ...

... 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 ...

... Prairie) lived. We left South Dakota behind, crossed into Minnesota, where the scenery changed very little. Toward the late afternoon the ground began to become more rolling and the sparse trees gave way to scattered woods. Soon we dropped down into the Mississippi valley and crossed the mighty river into Wisconsin, where we found a campsite for our overnight stop. all credit to Chrissy who drove most of the day.

... TSA wants you to do..It may work here, but when i get to Japan or China they have very different rules. Sometimes I think they change the rules just because I am an American.

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.
