August 1 - FMCA Rally

Laurie & Bob left a day early to go back to Jersey. I told George at around 6 AM that Laurie had been bitten the night before. He got up, took the dogs out and went over to see them off. I however snoozed for another hour. George went to a seminar after they left. I spent the morning planning the rest of the trip and getting reservations. When George came back we drove to Middleton, WI to the National Mustard Museum. Funny thing is today was National Mustard Day and the town was celebrating. They had funny parlor games such as Ring the Mustard Container; Mustard Container Bowling; Paint with Mustard; Feed the Curator; spin the mustard wheel. They had mustard judging; Miss Mustard; Honey Mustard Ice Cream, lots of mustard to taste. Well George tasted too much mustard and became ill. He tried to cut the acid from the mustard with Gelato and it worked for a while. We went into the National Mustard Museum and were amazed by all of the different mustards made not only in the USA but around the world. Found out the #1 producer of mustard seeds in Canada and the United States is the #1 importer. So after feeling better, he tried more mustard. I bought two kinds and a T-Shirt. So then we headed to Swisstown in New Glarus, WI, but when he became ill again, we aborted. He ate some TUMS and felt better. So then once again we were headed to Swisstown. However, we decided not to go. We got back to the Rally. George went to the vendor area and I went and play 3 games of Pickle Ball. After dinner which we ate late, I took the dogs for a long walk. I could see the Wisconsin Capitol building all lit up again and was kicking myself that I didn't take my camera. George and I got in the car and drove to the top of a hill but we couldn't see the Capitol building. Funny thing is we could see it from our parking lot better. George brought a tri-pod but it was too light to hold the camera with the telephoto lens. The photos came out half way decent. Tomorrow we are headed to either Reedstown or New London, WI.
