My husband and I had a delightful day of learning, laughs and pure enjoyment! We thoroughly enjoyed the tasteful re-creation of the old time circus atmosphere, wonderfully restored circus wagons, and the Big Top show complete with elephants and talented, devoted performers. Kids will have fun, so so did we as adults! Too many photos to share, but here are two. Thank you Circus World for our FUNDAY MONDAY.

Devil's Lake has great hiking trails.
Reviewed By GenevieveK466
I’ve been in love with Devils Lake ever since I first came here more than 30 years ago. No matter what time of year, it never fails to deliver beautiful views and great walks. Whether here for the day or the week, this place is worth the visit. There’s a beach in both the north and south shore and boat rentals (kayaks, row boats and paddle boats) to rent, concession stands, charcoal grills and LOTS of picnic tables. And the trails are wonderful. If you plan on camping, make reservations as soon as possible as they fill up quickly. Only $3/car if you’re a senior. Great way to spend a day.

I visited Baraboo Bluff Winery this past Saturday with my mom and some family friends for an impromptu girls day. We were impressed not only with the BEAUTIFUL view but also with the amazing customer service. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. The wine tasting is a STEAL for how good the wine tastes and you can even keep your glass :) After the tasting, we had a glass of our favorite wine and even tried the wine slushies that are perfect on a warm almost Fall day. We were full from lunch but it is worth noting that there is cheese and crackers to snack on while you indulge in the wine. The owners were present at the winery and were extremely welcoming and appreciative for our visit. This is absolutely my favorite winery! You HAVE to check it out if you're in the area! :)

We needed to get out of the house in month 7 of Covid sequestration...stopped by sky-hi for an apple pie, cider and fresh apples to go. Even the teenager enjoyed the petting zoo.
