About a month ago, we took a trip to Wisconsin to see
Papa and Nana and celebrate Passover with the family. While I’m still learning about the holidays,
we did plenty of passing over – we passed over Maryland, we passed over West
Virginia, we passed over Ohio and Indiana and a big lake.
It was great to go back to Wisconsin. As you know I’m a veteran traveler – I’ve
been flying for about 3 years and this was my second trip to see Nana and Papa’s
new home. Believe it or not, Dad had
never been to Wisconsin – so we made sure to show him all the sights, so he
would want to come back again.
First we tried on Cheesehead hats – because they like to
make everything out of cheese in Wisconsin.
Then we went to the Jelly Belly Factory. I like it because they have Jelly Belly’s and
a train ride around the warehouse. Dad
liked all of the different samples; Amelia’s favorite flavors were Grass and Boogie
(gross Amelia – but, it makes sense since she likes cows).
Then we went to the Wisconsin Car Museum. My favorite part was the model train
exhibit. I love trains (in case you
forgot).
Then we went and played at Nana's school. They have a great playground.
Then my bigger cousin Tyler from Chicago (he’s one year
older) taught me how to bowl… you pick your ball, then roll it down the ramp,
then knock over the pins, then dance. And
then (best part), you get to do it all over again. I bowled a 94 – Dad says that’s better than
Aunt Mimi has ever done!
After bowling, we went back to Nana and Papa’s and had a
sedar with a lot of our cousins. I need
shorter cousins… I’m a tall guy, but it is tough being the third shortest. Oh and at sedar Cousins Julie and Lisa sang some
songs (much nicer than when Dad sings).
After the cousins left, we went to the Children’s museums
downtown for a fun adventure.
Then, to wrap up the visit (because it was blizzarding in
April) we toured Nana and Papa’s clubhouse – I got to play my first motorcycle
video game. I beat Dad; but he says he
beat me. To which I reply “Dad, I’ve been
in the car when you’ve driven – trust me, I drive much faster.”
After all these sites, who can believe we missed some attractions. I told Dad next time we’re in Wisconsin we
can go to the Mustard Museum and the brewery (I’ll drive home) – but only after
another tour of the Jelly Belly Factory (He has to save some sites for next
time). In the meantime, you can check out all of my photos from Wisconsin here.
Peace out Wisconsin,
Phin
