Willow River State Park

Duane and I got the Riviera out of storage and drove to Hudson, Wisconsin for lunch at one of our favorite cafes....Urban Olive & Vine.  I had a LOVELY basil chicken flatbread sandwich, and Duane had the Thai Peanut (without the peanut and a substitution of the tomato viniagrette).  A TRULY lovely little spot at which to relax and enjoy DELIGHTFUL food!

After lunch, we headed to Willow River State Park.  We had NO idea such a great place was so close to home!  One of Duane's co-workers recommended it, and I'm glad she did...it was cool.  Camping, a lake, a dam, and a really cool waterfall (that you have to hike, like, 28 miles to get to, but the path is well graded, and it's TOTALLY worth the effort!). 

Here are some shots from the day...













It was a LOVELY last day of "summer vacation" before it all begins again tomorrow!

Here's hoping YOU were able to do something to help you relax, and to help you NOT think about whatever DOOM is crashing down upon you...!!!!!
