Fennimore vacation

Nice little 'stay-around-Wisconsin-cation' last week with Hannah to Fennimore and points west. We had an air conditioned room (with double-wide hot tub!) here:

and part of the deal was a gift certificate to their oddly named restaurant:

Nice room and Hannah enjoyed her dinner choice. And they didn't mind her speaking aloud, which is a good thing. My chicken fillet was overcooked, tho still tasty. We fared better in dining at the Family Style diner a couple blocks up the road.
Thursday morning it was off to Wyalusing state park near Prairie du Chien, about a half hour away. Nice scenic drive there and Hannah was invaluable with spotting signs and keeping me from taking wrong turns, mostly on the way back. The vistas from the upper campgrounds were wonderous. This looks like the park to camp in, if such an adventure happens this or subsequent summer. The campsites are nicely spread apart and all. Would like to hike along the river valley next time.

 Sweetie and gal relaxing and unplugged, ahhh. About the unplugged part - none of the rooms at the Fenway had phones (!) and their WiFi wasn't useable. To top it off our Vir gin mo bile cels had no signal in the area.
The hotel bar was nice (that is until some crooner chick held forth Thu nite) and pulled coupons off the place mats at the diner for free cocktails both days. Did buy my first beer - Capital Amber in a frosted mug, mmmm. Part of the deal on the room was a complimentary bottle of wine and an Italian Pinot Grigio ended up being good and hit the spot on Thursday. Not much interesting exploring to do in Fennimore during the weekdays but their was a 'Steak Feed' advertised for the weekend! Railroad Museum closed. Huge thrift store on the next block visit yielded a new swimsuit for H. This place looked interesting, but was locked down:

Couldn't resist 'preserving' the sign's drawing, the only folk art within view
