Everyone's on vacation today, and this family outing even includes Barb.  As we are leaving Middleton, though, her road construction comment makes me wonder if it's going to be a long day. We stop for breakfast in Prairie du Sac (Eagle's Nest) and arrive at Circus World Museum around 10:30, in time for the 11 o'clock Big Top show. We wander around the grounds a bit before going to Devil's Lake.  We see very little of the sun and, consequently, spend little time in the water. After a round of miniature golf, we head for home.  The boys sleep for most of the trip, and there's hardly a peep out of the rest of us.  I do chores once we get home.

Some things don't change. Andy and Eddie still spend nearly half their time sleeping during the long drive to Grandma Nelson's house. At 22 and almost 19, respectively, they remain content to let Mom and Dad do all the driving. How different they are from their Dad in this regard. I would have been happy to do all of the driving on family vacations.


Let's throw a little light on the subjects.
