Synopsis:It was the end of the Adventure Club season, so we naturally had the End of the Adventure Club Season Adventure Club. What a jolly day! We met at Michele and Jojo's place to look at the album, share pictures, chat and enjoy the day. It was a wonderful one (as most are here in paradise!), and from there we visited Dinosaur Ridge, a cool museum and park with actual bones and lots of footprints! Wow! Cressa was particularly impressed with all the dinosaur stuff. Cedric, Sebastian and Orson were less so. Oh well! From there we raced over to the Grinka's to watch the first ever showing of Adventure Club's Next Top Model. There were lots of laughs (whew!) and everyone had a good time. All in all, a great send off for the folks who would continue the journey. There were even Roadtrip CDs to be shared. What a fine send off indeed. Then Roatrip! Roadtrip! To celebrate our tenth anniversary of Adventure Clubbing (which was in February), we took a roadtrip to the House on the Rock in southwestern Wisconsin. Five intrepid explorers drove the LONG way, but it was worth it. We had a nice rental home nearby, very beautiful scenery with lightning bugs, and the House on the Rock itself did not fail to make an impression! Whoa! A strange place, a wonderful place, a place to see. Yay! We also visited the capitol building in Madison and the Cave of the Mounds, with some sidetrips, games, and LOTS of cheese curds mixed in for fun. It was a grand trip for all involved. All the ACers who were not able to make it were sorely missed, but there will be stories aplenty to share. As always, it was wonderful to come home to beautiful Colorado! Congratulations to everyone who's ever been in Adventure Club for ten years well lived! Huzzah!
