Summer is winding to a close and we are moving on to warmer climates. Our time in Volo was fun and we did some amazing things in Chicago. Fish Lake Beach was an awesome campground and it was great visiting my coworker of many years whom I had never met in person. All in all it was a busy summer and although we enjoyed the stay, there are just too many people near Chicago for my liking. The campground we stayed at was really neat but the there were a few things we didn't like. The water was well water and smelled like rotten eggs. After a couple of different filters and about a month of stinky water we finally had to start chlorinating just so we could take showers. The campground did have a lot of amenities. A private lake with a beautiful sandy beach, paddle boats, miniature golf, an arcade and swimming pool/hot tub were just a few. We met some great neighbors and tried some interesting activities that were new to us.
Chicago is definitely a cool city and something I'm glad we got to see. Downtown is really impressive and gives you a sense of awe looking up at those towering buildings all around you. Jenny was the only one who had the nerve to stand on the outlook in the Sears tower 104 stories up.
The Wisconsin Dells were a blast. I would compare it to the Las Vegas of the midwest for kids, there are tons of things to spend money on. It was a good place to visit but we had to get out of there before we started pawning stuff.
