perhaps ready to leave

So its been about 2 weeks! I am just having too much fun! Wisconsin was fabulous-Madison was really nice an oasis in the corn filled state. Jenni you were right! :) We walked all around town, had some jamba juice-and wheatgrass!- and stopped at a crazy hippie store too! 

After a lovely tour we headed north to the Wisconsin Dels. For those of you that are unfamiliar i would say the place is like Water Country times a thousand sitting next to Hampton beach on crack! Its an experience:) We had a great time at a water park, drinking pina coladas, then stumbling through the water slides and floating down the river. Fabulous!! We returned to the main drag to see it at night, ahh the lights! I purchased an overpriced caramel apple, yum! Then off to a local place for dinner, off the strip, next to Belton Lake-which after the dam broke dried up- We had great burgers and fried cheese curds! 

We returned to Heath's parents house to crash and then woke up to crepes and braut! yummy! We had to buzz out in order to get back to Chicago by 4 so i could catch my flight. We made it-Thanks for the ride Heath!! I flew to DC for my Grandfathers 90th birthday. Although it was a really short visit it was a lot of fun. I reunited with relatives and met even more! Aunt Diane and Uncle Ned's house was lovely and I enjoyed all the wonderful food.  Happy Birthday Grandpa! Pictures to come. 

After a quick flight back to Chicago, Julia and Brenda picked me up and we returned to a wonderful barbecue! Mmmm Heath made burgers! 

So the plan is I do some laundry, pack up, and then Im off to Mount Rushmore hopefully by Wednesday.  Im going to be sad to say goodbye, I have had a fabulous time! Thank you Thank you Thank you to Julia and Heath! Love you!!
