  • 10 Things I Learned on Vacation

    1
    1. Wisconsin is huge.
    2. Contrary to popular belief, one can go two whole weeks without a phone, email, web browsing, TV, etc. It’s true.
    3. Cheezees (aka: Cheesy Poofs, Cheetos, etc.) are the perfect vacation food (unless you’re 4 and get queasy while riding up a twisty mountain road…)
    4. I do not sleep well in the car.
    5. The water in Canada is cold, but it really does feel good when you get in. Honest!
    6. Chicago has traffic jams. At 2:30. AM. On Sunday morning.
    7. Apparently I can spend 17 days with my family and not want to kill them.
    8. Mosquito’s suck. A LOT.
    9. Strawberry muffins are fabulous (at least those from the bakery in Nestor Fall, Ontario- there’s only one– you can’t miss it really).
    10. Dog hair sticks to everything.

    Had a great time. Also glad to be back, or at least glad to NOT be in a car.
