Today Jeanne and I drove to see the House on the Rock. It was about an hour drive away. www.thehouseontherock.com. What a fun place. Alex Jordon (a guy with more money than he know what to do with), built a house on a chimney rock.
A wide variety of sculptures, and unusual collections of every conceivable thing.
A lot of Tiffany lamps, wood screens from India. Huge fireplaces, places to sit. It is a maze. Hard to explain. So much to see.

carousels. One section is a street scene of the past with stores, cars ...! One room had a huge whale. A lot of it was too dark to take very good pictures. But we kept trying.
an infinity hall, quite an optical illusion.
What the infinity hall looks like from the outside.
The worlds largest working carousel. It all ended at a Japanese garden.
It took 3 hours, 6,694 steps and 295 pictures!! It was an amazing place.
Then we went to the Country Kitchen for lunch.
We split a chicken cordon bleu sandwich. No pictures, we were hungry.
We got back in time to relax for a little while before the kids came home from school. After snacks we headed off to a miniature golf place. 18 holes in half an hour. We place a few rounds of Frozen Uno.

Once Laura got home, Wilhelm made a delicious dinner of mashed potatoes, wax beans and pork steaks. Yummy.
