Last Day on the Road

Trying to find a hotel on the road can certainly be a hit or miss affair. This time we had a hit. We found an inexpensive hotel that had been recently remodeled, was clean and very pleasant. We even got to swim and use the hot tub/whirl pool. What a nice experience after a long day on the road. We even had a refrigerator and microwave!


The next day we got to see a Mary Kay pink cadillac. I don't know why, but that always gives me a good feeling! We saw lots of them in Texas back in the day, but to see one in Wisconsin was a blast from the past.


Another fun event is passing the water park in the Wisconsin Dells. I don't know why they call it the Kalahari, but they do.


It says "All Indoor" (which allows them to use it more than one day a year, but there are all these pipes out side - so I guess they have to heat them to keep the water from freezing.)


I promised Fall colors too - so here is a series of shots of some of the Wisconsin scenery.



Some areas we drove through were absolutely stunning.



We were fortunate enough to have some sun too!


Here are those rock formations.




These trees need another few weeks, before they will be colorful, I guess.



Don't forget to compare these Fall colors to the ones my husband kept pointing out in the previous blog entry! (wink!)





And then we were in Hudson and after that we had the welcome and familiar sight of Minneapolis.
