August 3 - New London, WI

Today was beautiful with hight temp of 77 degrees F. Puffy white clouds contrasting the bright blue sky. We went to Green Bay today to two places that we saw listed in a Fantasy Tour brochure at the FMCA Rally. The first place was The National  Railroad Museum. It included a toy display, advertising medallions, full sized steam and Diesel engines as well as Pullman, box cars, and sleepers that were open to walk through.  The museum had a Union Pacific "Big Boy" (steam) number 4017, one of 25 engines and the Dwight D. Eisenhower (a non-traditional looking steam engine). For an extra $1 there was a train ride too. Funny thing is every time George and I take a train ride, we always sit on the wrong side and this ride was no different. After the museum we needed a pizza fix and decided to go to a place called Old Chicago. I was thinking it might be upside down like other Chicago style pizza we have had, but it wasn't. Don't misunderstand me, the pizza was delicious, just not what I expected. From there we went to the self touted "The Nation's Largest Cooking Store" Cooks Corner in Green Bay, WI. It was big and had a lot of great products. I only bought a 1/2 pound of fudge. We stopped at a Northern something that carries tools as George gets their catalog. Then we stopped and bought 4 ears of sweet corn that was pretty bad. Of course we are spoiled with Stella's Jersey Sweet Corn which might be Silver Queen. The dogs were able to be off lease and played ball. They are also tolerating George trying to hover his drone better but only in my lap for protection from it. George uploaded my photos from the camera to his laptop. Mine is too antiquated and is well on its way to becoming a paper weight. He also uploaded my photos from my iPhone.
