Wisconsin Ducks

We were quite the typical tourists on our vacation, just like I have said before...you can't vacation in Wisconsin without visiting a local brewery (check), or you can't go to the Dells without seeing the "dalles" (check), and you can't go without taking a Duck tour!  So that is what we did :)

Today's driver: The Big D

I can't remember the entire story about this rock formation, but it had to do with someone playing their baby grand piano on top of the cliff until one day the rock split and the baby grand fell off

and they never cleaned it up (use your imagination to see the baby grand)

 Can you see the hawk flying off the cliff?

This is Red Bird Gorge - it is the narrowest part of the tour and the driver has only 2 extra inches of space to get the large Duck through - thankfully, we had an excellent driver and no paint was exchanged with the bluffs :)

This was the best picture I got the entire vacation of the 4 of us

 The above picture was taken not too long before Little Miss grabbed another cat nap!
 (yes, she was standing between my legs as she slept)

Until next time...

Upper Dells Boat Tour

Wisconsin Dells may be the waterpark capital, but do you know what really made it famous? 

The landscape along the Wisconsin River - especially the sandstone bluffs along the river.  With that being said, we decided we couldn't vacation in the Dells without seeing the "dalles" - a French word meaning "layers of flat rock". 

We chose to go on the Upper Dells Boat Tour.  As we set out on our 2 hour voyage - look who was driving the boat!

Good thing it wasn't a 3 hour tour!

Anywho...Reba loved looking out the windows enjoying view

We were able to make a couple stops on our tour.  The first being Witches Gulch, where there was this awesome path to walk upclose to the sandstone that had been shaped by wind and water...

There are these amazing structures along the river that are some of the most photographed formations - remember to use your imagination.

Our second stop was to visit Stand Rock made famous by H.H. Bennett
