Wisconsin Trip

I haven't been very creative with my post titles lately. The creative juice just isn't flowing, in case you haven't noticed the horrid background on my blog. I L.O.V.E. damask, but let's be serious, I've had the same background with mismatched widgets (I think that's what they're called!), and I need some serious updating. I sure wish one of my creative blog friends would help (hint, hint). Back to my post on Wisconsin. Larry and I decided to take a couple of days together to take a road trip somewhere green with hills. Wisconsin it was! This was a little anniversary trip for us, and we didn't feel like dealing with non-rev travel, so we opted for a drive. Honestly though, it was so pretty with gorgeous fall colors on the trees, rivers, and hills. I mention hills often because I miss them. You'd never think you'd miss hills until you move somewhere that is lacking hills of ANY kind.

Our first stop was House on a Rock. This was a strange thing we found while researching Wisconsin on the internet and we thought we'd stop by. It wasn't in our trusty book (for the millionth time in 3 blog posts, 1,000 Places to See Before you Die), so we weren't determined to make it. We finally found it, and realized we're cheap. We didn't feel like spending $80 to roam through this creepy house with rooms filled with dollhouses, clowns (aaaahhhhh!!!), and a bunch of other random things. After a quick drive down the odd driveway and a few photo ops, we were off to our next stop...Taliesin.

Super strange art/flower pot creation on the driveway into House on The Rock. I thought they were super cool! Larry in front of the entrance. Notice another one of the crazy flower pots. I sure would have loved to meet the guy who built this house. Seems like he was quite a strange man.

View from a viewpoint of the house. If you look carefully towards the middle of the picture, you can see part of the house jutting out from the rock.
