Wildwood Luxury 10 - Beloit

We saw the movie The Cabin in the Woods here.  A group of five kids are in a cabin - and stuff gets weird. This was my first horror film.  (well, unless The Grey is considered horror)

Movie #10 for Ollie!

Starbucks #20 - Janesville

Well, number twenty.  Wow.  This Starbucks is in Janesville, Wisconsin.  My owner worked on his laptop for a long time, he also read a bit.  It was a relatively busy location, but the pictures below won't really show that aspect of it.

Janesville and Time Out Pub & Eatery

We walked around Janesville, WI for a bit, then had lunch at Time Out Pub & Eatery.  The Rock River (which is a tributary of the Mississippi) flows through Janesville, I liked watching it, thinking of traveling on a boat or something.  There were some nice sights in the city as well.

At Time Out the beer was Spotted Cow (which is only available in Wisconsin) and the food was a burger.  It was tasty.

All other activities?

WWF pandas?

Wisconsin Welcome Center - Beloit

Wisconsin Welcomes You!  Recreation, Industry, Agriculture.  This is the sign that welcomes us when we stop at the Wisconsin Welcome Center in Beloit, WI.

It's a rest area too, so a traveler can do his or her business.  After concluding his/her business, he/she can go pee or poo in the toilets that are available there, too.

Potawatomi Bingo Casino

My owner and one of his friends visited The Potawatomi Bingo Casino.  My owner didn't do any gambling, but I'm not really sure what that means.  There were a lot of noises and beeping - and it smelled like smoke.

Road trip to Wisconsin


I've been in a car a lot of times, remember the 150K pictures?  But today was my first road trip - for the purpose of having a road trip.  We drove from northern IL up into southern WI, ending at Mt. Horeb.  I saw a lot of different things, including some trolls (visit the trollway online) and a place called Dick's Meats.  We ate at Schuberts in Mt. Horeb and had dessert in New Glarus.  Now I'm glad that I made it a goal to travel, this was fun!
