Never have I been anywhere that is like House on the
Rock. The tour begins with a walk around
a house build on a rock with pretty gardens, an indulgent, comfy, dark house
that screams out retro charm. And once
you have seen it, you think … ok, that was cool.
But then you are taken round several hours of the most
random collection ever, with mechanical musical orchestras, vast collections of
toys, games, dollhouses and many other genres, and with set pieces like a giant
whale being attacked by a giant squid within a giant warehouse. Joined with the world’s largest
merry-go-round, you have a sensation that you might never leave.
I loved it, though it wasn’t up everybody’s street.
We drove back past Dr Evermore’s Forevertron, but the gates
were shut and we could see from peeking over that there wasn’t much to see
compared to what we had just been through.
We then headed for Wisconsin Dells, the waterpark capital of
Wisconsin, where we all scoffed at the upside-down White House as it rained
around us.
After arriving at the motel accommodation, some of us popped
off to Walmart so I could get some bits and pieces for Penny, and so Alex could
get a Green Bay Packers Cheesehead.
After dinner at the High Rock Rest, most people stayed up
for a drink, a chat and a game of ‘I have never’, though I took the chance to
go to bed early with Penny.
Planning done is outstanding! Art and craft exhibitions arranged in our city are mind blowing. They are a sure visit. Most of them are organized at Chicago venues as their spacious areas cover a large number of gathering and parking places. Staff members are kind as well and even beverages served are tasty.
