Wisconsin Dells

Two in one day!!! What are you going to do!!!

Last week, Brian and I spent a few days in Wisconsin Dells. Thanks to WIXX(a local radio station), we paid very little for the trip and activities. WIXX gives away Dells books every year where you can get free or very discounted admission to many Dells attractions (there are even some water parks included, but we are not water people). So, this year we decided we were going to try our hardest to get some Dells books. We found out the day of the closest Dells drop and Brian and best friend Bill got up at 4am to go sit outside of Sonic drive in until 11:30am, when the drop was to begin. They were first in line!!!!
So our trip was planned. And it was a busy 3 days. We did 3 mini-golf courses, painted some pottery, rode the ducks(the tour never changes and you start to anticipate the jokes that you know are coming), took the upper Dells boat tour, visited a photograph museum(free, and was very thankful we didn't pay for it), saw a hypnotist show, saw the Tommy Bartlett show and exploratory, went to circus world(missed the circus), and visited a train museum and got an hour long train ride. Many of these places were free. We even got a hotel discount and 10% off many of the area restaurants. After all was calculated, we saved about $407 the whole trip. We even have some things left that we didn't do (water stuff) that doesn't expire until the end of June.

Brian decided it was worth getting up at 4am for and will most likely try again next year!!
