Wednesday in Wisconsin Dells

Posted by andrea tomkins in: travel talk

This was breakfast! #latergram #dellsfun

And this is a bus, but I thought it looked cool. #dellsfun

Love those wooden roller coasters! #dellsfun

Jet boating!

Kayaking at Mirror Lake State Park (See the teeny people?) #DellsFun #nofilter

A peaceful moment during yesterday's kayaking. #dellsfun

Not pictured: wild crane spotting, a lazy river, a fantastic lunch and dinner, and the fantastic people I’ve met here so far.

So fun. I dunno about that roller coaster though… The old-timey photo edit makes it look too old-timey to be safe!

You may be amused by this link to my favorite website, which takes a tongue in cheek look at anything and everything from American culture past. Here are some tourist brochures from the 70’s, including Wisconsin Dells!

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
