The gardens at Canoe Bay were filled with incredible flowers.

At Canoe Bay, and a great view for breakfast.

Tammy and I had a fun time seeing Twisters at the Stardust Drive-In Theater in Chetek, WI!

We like to check out drive-in movie theaters when we travel. Tammy found the Stardust Drive-In and we wanted to see Twisters so off we went. This place was packed full of people. There were probably 50 people waiting at the concession stand. So many pickups with air mattresses in the back!

At Canoe Bay there are very friendly deer all over the property. They run around and seem to have a delightful time frolicking in the woods. They wont let you get too close but they also don’t run away when you approach.

At Canoe Bay for our anniversary weekend. We were here once before any kids. Very tranquil.
