ROAD TRIP ~ ~ ~ ~

            TWO WEEKS ON THE ROAD ~ YES ~ WONDERFUL TRIP 


Planning our first trip together, my sister Geri and I decided to go to Santa Fe, New Mexico.  I knew she never saw Mount Rushmore, so I suggested we go north on the way back, as we were ending our trip in Wisconsin Dells, just another state over to the Dells!
Leaving on Labor Day was a great choice.  Very little traffic!  
Setting the GPS for the shortest distance was a choice we later laughed about.  It took us forever to leave WI!  Forty miles per hour isn't feasible for a trip that was going to be thousands of miles.  When the GPS said continue 120 miles and the speed limit was 40, we decided to reset the GPS and look at a map!  
Finding a more reasonable route/and speed/we were off! 








Our first stop being the Amana Colonies, where Geri met the lady on the postcards there.  She has worked in this store over 35 years.  She autographed the post card that Geri purchased.








 Amana General Store
         
Besides the shops there is a family type restaurant and small villages that are only a few miles down the road. 








Having a stop to stretch and explore we continued down the road to our next adventure.
