Jet Lag...
Can I claim jet lag when we stayed in the same time zone? What is it about vacations that throws everyone out of the loop for a week or so? Slowly recovering here.. may not ever recover from the laundry, but again.. totally worth it!
So a short recap of our trip, which was busy but blessedly drama-free, quite an accomplishment when traveling with three small girls!
We left early Thursday with high hopes and lots of snacks (plane ride was great-yipee!)
We arrived at the resort in the Dells, where we took full advantage of the water park, jacuzzi tub in the living room, and luxurious dining arrangements. :)
While in the Dells, we took a boat ride through the river, taking in the beautiful scenery. Oh, and did I mention that while on the boat the temperature outside was an amazingly pleasant 68 degrees? Yes, I know.. rubbing it in.. sorry! :)
We also visited the adorable, old fashioned main street, where the candy store was a huge hit of course. What are vacations for, if not indulging on the treats denied in real life?
And of course, what trip to Wisconsin would be complete without a stop at a dairy for some fresh cheese? The extra miles I will log on the treadmill for those squeaky cheese curds will soo be worth it!
A good portion of the trip was also spent visiting with different relatives across the state, including this little doll, the daughter of my cousin, who I absolutely could not get enough of... look at those dimples!
And finally, last but most certainly not least.. we ended our trip in Chicago, where we emptied our piggy banks (and college funds!) at the American Girls Store. It was so much fun for everyone (I wanted to be a little girl again too!) and my girls have not stopped talking about it.. or playing with thier new purchases! High quality toys that encourage imagination AND good role models, how could I resist? (Plus they are just so darn cute!!)
Thanks to everyone for the vacation wishes.. I am glad to be back and have a busy fall lined up already.. which means more pictures to be posted in upcoming days! Thanks for looking as always!
