Mini Vacation on a Budget

Since the kids are going to be on Spring Break after school on Friday, we thought we would plan some fun things over the next week.

We are starting their vacation off by heading to the WBAY-TV 2 Pet Expo after school on Friday to check out all of the different animals and exhibits.  I think the kids will have a lot of fun!

On Saturday morning, after I sneak off for a quick lab appointment at the doctor, we are heading down to Pleasant Prairie to take the kids on a tour of the Jelly Belly Factory before it closes.

After we are done at the Jelly Belly Factory it will be time to grab a bite to eat at Franks Diner in Kenosha, and then it’s a quick trip to the Dinosaur Discovery Museum!

The kids don’t have a clue what we are doing and they are going to be sooooo excited! None of us have ever visited any of these places so it should be a lot of fun for all of us.

The great thing about this little mini vacation is that it is super budget friendly. Both the Jelly Belly Factory and the Dinosaur Discovery Museum are free so we don’t have to worry about the admission so we only have to cover gas and lunch!

I can’t wait to get everything ready Friday night after the kids go to bed and surprise them with this little road trip when they get up in the morning. It’s going to be a lot of fun!

 

Travel Wisconsin

When I travel and meet people from other states they all ask me if I have cows at home since I live in Wisconsin.  

Did you know that Wisconsin is filled with A LOT more than cows.  There is sooooo much more to see.  We have beautiful bodies of water, gorgeous parks, trails, beaches and more!

If you are ever in Wisconsin and want some ideas of what to do, please feel free to ask and I will point you in the right direction.  

In the meantime, if you find yourself just traveling through the state and want to check out a few things, check out these great roadside attractions throughout the state.
