The bad weather is following us! Wicked thunderstorm last night, and, as we head south, we're supposed to get them again this evening!
We stayed two nights in a camping cabin at a KOA in Hayward, Wisconsin. Hayward is near the Namekagon River, part of the St Croix National Scenic Waterway. Mike took the girls tubing on the river yesterday; they all had a fabulous time.
While not a huge fan of KOAs, they work well in a pinch, and some of them are just a kid's paradise. My girls love this particular one, we were here last year when we came through: it has mini-golf, a good pool, a jumping pillow, a waterslide, movies, structured activities and river tubing. Hayward itself is a nice Northwoods vacation village with good bars/restaurant, shopping and a Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. (picture above)
The KOA is much more crowded (and pricier) than when we were here this time last year. The national parks were also very crowded- Yellowstone broke attendance records again this year. It's good to see Americans are still taking vacations;I guess domestic travel is more appealing in this economy.
