Cross Country Day Four: Wisconsin Chedder and Spam Museum

Our fourth day cross-country started out with rain, and we drove north up into Wisconsin and then headed west into Minnesota...

In Wisconsin, we saw that yes, they love their cheese! We saw a store advertising "Cheese, Fireworks and Gifts." I think that says it all right there. We also drove past Wisconsin Dells, which looked really neat- they have the largest concentration of waterparks anywhere in the world, plus some really beautiful natural scenery along a river.

After crossing the Mississippi, we made it into the long stretch of southern Minnesota. We went by where they make Spam and have the Spam museum, but alas it was too late in the evening to actually explore the inside! At least we got a photo with a giant Spam can. Ha!

Independence Day

We hope everyone is having a fantastic 4th of July! Around here whenever I think about the 4th of July I think about my birthday (it is today!!) and fireworks! I love going to fireworks shows. Even though it is summer and hot, they happen at night when it is a little cooler. The brilliant colors against the night sky are so magnificent looking! The vibrant colors and timing of the fireworks create a delightful show. So what are your plans for today? I hope you are having fun!
