so this weekend started off with Isabelle's 20th birthday party!! we started off the night by going to Isabelle's house and having a few drinks and getting the party started!! after some drinks we went to Valentinos (an underage night club) in St Paul ( the twin city to minneapolis) and partied the night away!!! so this night club is for any one over 18 but under 21s cannot drink as it is the legal age in USA!!! the night went really well and it was a great way to spend a 20th birthday, but the next day I was paying for it as we drove to Wisconsin (the next state over)!!! it was only about a 30 minute drive but it felt longer then that!!!
When we arrived we got some fuel and then went to find a place to get lunch!!! we ended up stopping at a place called The Orchard and sat in the sports bar!!! our server (named Phil) talked soooo much and in the short time we were there we found out sooooo much about him!! He asked us all where we came from due to our accents so we told him. When Tona told him she was from Chile he told us all about how he travled in South America and went all through Chile!!! but his response was very different when i told him i was from Perth!! his reply was "oh...really" i said back to him why do you say it like that it sounds like a bad thing!! he said no.. and then went on telling us about how he drunk with Aussie's at Oktoberfest!!! He asked us what our plans were while we were here and we said we didnt have much planned apart from going to the Crystal Caves!! he told us about Cady Cheese and from then we decided that was a place we would need to visit!
so after we finished our meals and payed for them we headed further into Wisconsin and went to the Cheese factory!! you are able to taste text what ever cheese you want and look in the looking window but we never got around to doing that!! so we tried a few different types of cheese's! the cheese we tried that was made the day befor tasted really nice but had a very weird texture to it, it was like eating a plastic eraser ( not that i have tried but imagine), then as the cheese aged the plastic texture of it went away.. the oldest cheese we had was one that had aged for 11 years!! we bought a few souvenirs and then went to check in at the American Inn Suites in Baldwin WI!!! the rooms were really nice but the first room the toilet didnt flush and there was no way we were going to spend a night in a room with out a flushing toilet so we moved to the next room!!!
That evening Tona and Renee drove into another city to get some t-shirts while i caught up on some much needed rest :) when they got back we went over to dairy queen and got some dinner!!! i got some chicken and chips and then that night we watched some movies and had a easy night!!
the next morning we woke up and got complimentary breakfast which was pretty shitty and then checked out!! we went and checked out some places around Baldwin and went to a lake called Pine Lake!!! so alot of places around Wisconsin is very country and this showed by all houses having barns in the backyards and down by the lake there were a few horses!
after the visit to the lake we went and had some lunch and then went to the Crystal Caves which was the main reason for the weekend away! the Crystal Caves was really interesting and was like 43 degrees f which is like 5c and i was not dressed for that!! i cannot remember exactly but the girl was saying we were at least 70 stories underground at the lowest point of the cave! there was a few bats in the cave and we also got to be in total darkness at one point! it was good because it was only the three of us and the tour guide was about the same age as us! it was a great tour and a great weekend!
we finished the weekend off with a soccer game as my friends Clare's dad, cousin and 2 brothers were paying just inside Wisconsin :) was a good weekend
