Back from Vacation!

Well, we took a whirlwind vacation of 4 days to Wisconsin, about a 7 hour drive from our home near St. Louis. I think we spent more time in the car, than anything else! We were invited to the wedding of the daughter of my husband's cousin on Sat., in Madison, WI. So we had this great idea to go visit the summer stomping ground of my husband's family for the last 45 years. My inlaws started vacationing in Waupaca, Wisc when their kids were small. They would always rent a cottage on the beautiful Chain of Lakes. Where else could a family of 8 kids on a policeman's salary spend a week on the cheap! All the kids are grown, most with families of their own, and we continue to vacation in Waupaca. Usually there will be several of us up there at the same time, but not this year. Just my husband and I. So here are some pictures from the Chain. Enjoy!



The Chief Waupaca... original paddle boat that cruises 8 lakes. We acted like tourists, and went for a ride!




Taylor Lake...dotted with many year round homes, and rental cottages. Also home to our favorite hang out...the Harbour Bar!




Sailboats on Round Lake

We also saw some strange sights on our cruise!
It's a boat....but not a boat?




It almost looks like a car...



It is a car!???????? On a sandbar!




Another strange boat!



A picture perfect ending to a perfect day!
