Same shit, different day- but in a good way

It seems that even on vacation you can't escape some of the basic toddler activities...


Stealing remotes and obsessing over them




Pointing out facial features on Mommy and Daddy


Looking out the windows, although this view is much better than what we have at home


Going to the park










Drive-thru popcorn shop.

What's that you say? Drive-thru popcorn shop? Now wait a minute, that's something new! In Portage, a nearby town, we saw this shop and HAD to go. The lady who ran the place got a kick out of our request for caramel mixed with cheese popcorn. Immediately asking if we were from Chicago? Well of course we are, and just so you know -it is the best combo of popcorn flavors!


While in Portage we decided to stop for some dinner at a very colorful Mexican restaurant. Anabelle had her first taste of chips and salsa and she liked it. Dinner was great, quite an upgrade from the night before.


Anabelle and I both had fried ice cream for the first time, and we both loved it! YUM!!

This morning we got up and headed into Wisconsin Dells to look around. We had thought about going into Madison, but with all of the hub-bub going on at the capital we thought it might be a little crazy. So we settled for the Dells, and found it to be pretty quiet, being the off-season. We did enjoy a nice walk along the riverwalk, even when we're not in Naperville we still manage to find a riverwalk. Although this one had a much bigger river.






Walking around the downtown area, we spotted this old Zoltar fortune telling machine just like the one from the movie Big. Hopefully Anabelle didn't wish to be big.


Even though lots of the activities are the same here on vacation, it's nice to experience a new place and enjoy it together just the 3 of us.

Heading home tomorrow, back to the burbs.

What is the obsession with the remotes?! lol. That playhouse on my latest post is from Buildadreamplayhouses.com. I was lucky enough to get to review it!
