When I tried to explain to all my coworkers that I was spending the long weekend in Wisconsin, no one could quite understand.  As a child, we went up to Wisconsin Dells a few times – that’s what you do as a kid growing up in the midwest.  And my dear friend Hansa, decided she wanted to spend her bachelorette weekend up there, so this time, we did it as adults, and in style!

I flew into Chicago on Friday evening, had dinner with family, and then drove up to Wisconsin on Saturday morning.  Upon arrival, we spent Saturday hanging out at the waterparks at the Wilderness, where we were staying.

Following a little wave pool and swim up bar action, we got ready and headed out to dinner at Mexicali Rose

Following dinner, it was time for some old fashion fun at Capone’s Old Time Photos

The next day was the big one — we rented cabanas at Noah’s Ark for a full day of waterpark action.  This meant having enough time relaxing at the cabana while still fitting in all of the key water slides, including the Point of No Return

And then getting back in time to get ready, eat, and head out for the world famous, Tommy Bartlett Show

We then started our final day with brunch at Paul Bunyan’s, before making it back to the city for a final dinner and sparkler extravaganza
