We're home from our trip. Oh boy, did we have a good time!!!! We spent most of our time in and around Dubuque because there was soooooooo much to do and see there. The first day alone, we saw 18 eagles!! They fly around like cardinals do here. We even saw a nest with an mama eagle sitting in there, popping her head up every couple of minutes. We went to a state park across the river from Cassville, WI, called Pikes Peak. It's a wonderful landing on the top of a high cliff that's perfect for eagle spotting!! That's where the picture was taken. It was truly awesome! It gives you a perfect bird's eye view of the Mississippi and Wisconsin Rivers joining together. We shopped, visited a museum, and ate lots of good food. We stayed our entire time at the Hilton Garden Inn in Dubuque. We'd drive to our destinations everyday, but always return to the Hilton. It was the best place I've ever stayed at, bar none, other then our own home. They treated us so wonderfully!! Delicious Food! Wonderful beds! Clean, cozy room! Every luxury you can put in a room, including HDTV!! And the most wonderful, friendly staff you'll ever find! Good grief, I sound like a commercial......
We came home to snow.......it's a blizzard outside! Enough already!!!! We're just going to snuggle in and enjoy 3 more relaxing days before I go back to school.
