Cranberry Country


Today we crossed the state line into Wisconsin. We traveled off the interstate to see the Cranberry Discovery Center, where we learned a lot about harvesting cranberries and found some treats! Some had ice cream, some sampled wine, but there was something "cranberry" for everyone! We even had the opportunity to see cranberry marshes up close at the Wetherby's. It was a very interesting experience, enjoyed by all.
 
We finished our night off with some friendly competition. With a bucket full of cranberries, we all tested our luck at making a cranberry "splat" mark on the target with a slingshot! It was a lot of fun and even some of the other hotel guests joined in on the fun!
 
We can definitely tell we are getting close to home, sweatshirts and coats are no longer in the suitcases! We are staying our last night in Tomah, WI before making our way home tomorrow.
