4th of July Weekend


Well, I finally got around to blogging about our 4th of July weekend, which for us lasted a total of four days.

On Friday, we saw fireworks at Jefferson Park in Menasha. They were quite good, as usual. It was Me, Wanda, and my mother. We had a great time. We also learned that our digital camera takes surprisingly good pictures of fireworks!

On Saturday, we decided to go to Bay Beach for the day. We went on rides, did sight-seeing, and I reminisced about my childhood at the place. Most of it was still as it had been, but there were a few improvements, like a new train depot and the addition of swings!

For those of you who remember 10 cent rides, the price is now 50 cents for the bigger rides and 25 cents for the kiddy rides. A bargain! We also visited the Bay Beach Nature Preserve. It has changed A LOT since I was little. They did an impressive job remodeling.

Sunday we mostly lounging around (which, if Wanda had her druthers, probably would not have been). We spent Sunday shopping and looking at the sales. We managed to find a cute table set for our deck at Menards, and a great deal on a stainless mini-refrigerator at Target.

All in all, it was a perfect and relaxing weekend for us to celebrate our 1-year anniversary (for those not in the know, we were married on the 4th of July in Jamaica last year).

    Great photo of Wanda on the swings! My favorite was always the scrambler, and the tilt-a-whirl. Gotta love Bay Beach :)
