To start off the vacation-a-thon we headed South through Wisconsin and to Chicago. After living in Minnesota for 8 years now, I'm finally getting the geography of our neighboring states down. They are big but still a bit unfamiliar, as in I've never been to Iowa. It's still hard to believe that you can drive for so many hours and still be in the same state.
Our first stop was in Baraboo, Wisconsin at the Wiggy-Krohm estate. We made it the 5 hours to their house in part by telling Lucy that we were going to see Virginia and her chickens. As soon as we got out of the car, she asked about her feathered friends. She was impressed although they did seem to keep running away from her. Go figure. It was such beautiful country and Tony and Virginia were wonderful hosts. Fresh pizza on the deck!
We try to do our driving during Lucy's nap time. So we went into Madison for the morning and visited the Children's Museum. Whoa. Amazing. Definitely worth the visit whether or not you have children with you. You should also stop at the crepe shop across the street. Oh my delicious.
Keeping with the road trip theme, the cars were popular with Lucy.
Stickers? Check. Silly bands? Check. The recipe for a happy toddler traveler. Oh yes, and the nuk.
More chickens! These were at the museum. We also did some puddle stomping in the roof top garden.
The capital.
