Fun in WI

We visited family in WI and had fun in New Glarus and the surrounding areas. 

We tried to stick dollars to the ceiling at Puempell's tavern.

We visited statues that used to creep me out as a kid.

These statues can be found just outside of Hollandale, at Nick Engelbert's Grandview.  

We also checked out the trolls in Mt. Horeb.

Miami (AZ)

 I drove through Miami today. It was sunny and warm but I couldn't find the beach.

Los Angeles Zoo

I went to Los Angeles for a work conference. Tonight we had a social event at the zoo. I couldn't resist playing on the giant snake 

Vegas and Death Valley (March 12-15, 2017)

Because all of the girls had spring break at the same time, we decided to take a quick road trip. We rented a condo on the strip in Las Vegas and used that as a base for day trips.

To break up the drive, the first stop was at Grapevine Canyon, near Laughlin. 

We saw lots of petroglyphs, a snake, and Steve and the girls had fun climbing the rocks (I didn't trust my new knees with scrambling over the boulders).

After we checked into our condo, we headed to Fremont

 Street,

We watched a street magician

Checked out the light shows

And the girls were entertained by the other street performers.

Day 2 - Death Valley

Day 2 - (March 13) Death Valley

We took a day trip to Death Valley National Park in California. 

Because it was spring, the temperature was warm, but not unbearable, so we were able to explore the salt flats and go on a few short trails.
