Spring Green, WI July 09

So many wonderful things to see in the Spring Green area of Wisconsin. On our way to Wisconsin we stopped at Sugar bottom campground in the Coralville, IA corps of engineers park. We saw hot air balloons to boating to visiting the University of Iowa while we were there. So many nice people in one of the best parks we have stayed in.

From Coralville we moved on to Spring Green, WI where we visited the House on the Rock and all the amazing collections from ships to circus wagons. The house was built on rock outcroppings at the top of the hill which gave it a surreal view. The infinity room, jutting out from the house into the sky above the valley, is a place we both would have liked to stayed for days to experience the changes in the view. The Smilebox will show you some sights, but this place has to be experienced in person over several days.

For Norene's birthday we went to Frank Lloyd Wright's home. She is a fan of his buildings and there are several in the Spring Green area. It was a stormy day, but we did get to experience the outside and inside of the house.

Madison is the state capitol and the home of the University of Wisconsin. On a perfect summer day we toured the capitol and State street while exploring into the university. Such a perfect day.

Before heading home we stopped in Dodgeville, WI for the Blues Festival spending a sunny day listening to bands and watching the people. Watch the Smilebox for a few examples of what fun we had.

This is a large Smilebox so it will take a little while to load. Just wait and it will have all the pictures and video ready for you. You can enlarge the pictures by clicking when you see the + sign while moving the cursor over the picture.

T@B 3rd International Rally

In July Mike and Norene traveled to the Quad Cities to enjoy the T@B trailer experience with other T@B owners from all parts of the country. What a sight so many T@Bs, and one T@DA, made in the campground. We were able to visit with friends while making new friends. All types of entertainment, meals, and seminars kept us busy all week.
