Summer Odyssey Part 2 - United States

I have always enjoyed visiting the U.S. - it's like an extreme Canada. This article outlines our most recent journey into the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. After spending a week in the Thunder Bay area (arguably one the most beautiful parts of Ontario), we decided to reward the kids (and ourselves) with a trip to the 'Waterpark Capitol of America', Wisconsin Dells. Along the way, we saw some awesome scenery, met some cool people and found about ten billion fun things to do. Unfortunately, we only had a week and a tight budget, so we had to pick and choose wisely.

Even though this is only a small fraction of the photos shot, here's some more from the family vacation. I've decided to slim it down considerably to highlight some of the great things we saw and did.

Okay, I'm going to cut it off here.....I'm about done posting vacation photos, at least until I go on another vacation. I hope it hasn't been completely boring for you, but it had to be done. I'd love to discuss the trip a little more, but I just don't have time right now to write about how cool everything was. You'll just have to take my word for it. I don't know how interesting that would be anyway...

I'll be back again soon with some more random cool stuff. With the Central Canada Comic Con swiftly approaching, I'm going to be featuring more comics and action figures and I might try to sneak in some more movie reviews soon.


Til then:

May the Force be with you...
