Janesville,
WI
Searching
the Internet I found Camden Playground listed as the number 1 attraction in
Janesville. This playground is listed as
being 80% handicap accessible; all made of wood with a castle, slides (even a
slide made of conveyor rollers), swings, poles to slide down like firemen all
kinds of things to climb on climb under and climb through. There
was also a wading pool with a large mushroom with water spraying out but we
avoided that because of Zoey’s ears and while it was warm the wind was
blowing. After a couple of hours of
playing the kids were ready to go find lunch and head out to our next
destination. After we crossed the Mighty
Mississippi River I noticed some major differences in the country. Instead of rolling hills of wide open spaces
with cattle we saw corn fields as far as the eye can see. The horizon is not near as wide open because
there are lots of trees and there is a lot more traffic. On the west we could drive for hours and not
see another vehicle or maybe one truck pulling a horse trailer but on the east
side – well we sat in a traffic jam barely moving more than 5 mph for over 2
hours on I90 in Chicago. We finally
started moving and made it to Hobart IN for the night. And now we are seeing Cracker Barrel
Restaurants so I introduced the kids to this magnificent place. Every place we went they wanted to visit the
gift shops well when they opened the door to the restaurant their eyes lit
up. Of course they had to buy
something! After sitting in the Chicago
traffic jam they deserved a toy. Back to
the hotel we were preparing for bed and we began to hear boom boom and a look
out the window and we saw a beautiful fireworks display for over an hour. What a nice way to end the day.
