Thursday afternoon we headed for Spring Green, WI and an attraction called "The House on the Rock". http://www.thehouseontherock.com/ What a surprise it was to find something like this in the middle of a bunch of farms and cornfields in Wisconsin. You really need to check out this web site since it would take me forever to explain exactly what it is and how it got there.
Aside from the fact that it is very eccentric and has an infinity room which overlooks a magnificent view; the architect, Alex Jordan was a collector of STUFF! I can't think of any other way to describe the rooms and rooms of collectibles.
.The world's largest carousel is housed there as well as hundreds of fully furnished doll houses, thousands of dolls (including 2 three tiered carousels carrying dolls), suits of armour, huge pipe organs, the world's largest collection of circus memorabilia (over a million pieces), collectors guns, and on and on and on. Check out the picture of Salt next to one of the ship props.
We were very glad we didn't have Emma with us as we are sure we would still be there!
It is nearly impossible to take everything in in one day. We were so exhausted when we left, we drove only another 6 miles to Bob's RV RESORT (you noticed it says RESORT). It was a very nice place overlooking the Wisconsin River.
While we were settled in a park, we took the opportunity to catch up on the laundry and clean the motor home.
