We arrived in Wisconsin today, and we are staying in a Yogi Bear Jellystone Campground. It is huge! It has a water park with a wave pool, lazy river, water slides, swimming lakes with beaches, and several pools. We are spending the day here tomorrow to explore it all. We did a little bit of sightseeing today. We went to Humbird Cheese and tried some delicious samples, as well as purchased some of the delectable varieties. My favorite was a 4-year old sharp cheddar. Mom got a small sample of an “aged brick”, which tastes and smells like Limburger cheese. AWFUL! It’s sour and stinky….gross!!! The lady working there gave me a sample of chocolate cheese to eat after the brick, but the texture was like play dough. After leaving there, we visited the Wisconsin Cranberry Discovery Center. They had some samples there as well, but only of dried berries; the fresh berries are not ready to harvest until September. My favorite berry was an orange-cranberry flavored “Craisin (cranberry/raisin). It was delicious! We watched a video on cranberry harvesting and walked through the museum. It was a delicious day, and we are ending it with a spin around the campground’s lazy river.
