This says it all...
When I created this
“Life to Do List” and added #85:
Visit a Midwest state I’ve never been to, I didn’t actually know what constituted the Midwest. I also had absolutely no idea when or how I would get there or why on Earth I’d be there in the first place. What I knew is that I’d never really traveled in the Midwest and it was an area of the U.S.A. that I knew little about. In my psyche, a lack of familiarity or exposure to a place is not a deterrent… it’s like a magnet. “Tell me more!” says my little brain. “Take me there!”
Where is there? Well… there was Wisconsin. Specifically, the Wisconsin Dells. This quaint little area of the country is world-renowned, actually. For what, you might ask? Waterparks! This may seem like a very exciting thing to be in town for. However, I was there during a rainy storm in the middle of April Showers and did not get to hang out on or near a single waterslide.
Drive Through Cheese Curds
I did, however, get to taste Cheese Curds for the first time (served courtesy of Culver’s drive through)- which I didn’t even know existed before traveling there and asking the Facebook Universe what I should do while I was in town. For the record, cheese curds come in two forms- either fried or regular. The latter of the two is just small pieces of cheese- like the cubes you’d serve as appetizers at a party with toothpicks. The former fried variety is like mozzarella sticks, only in bit form. Not a bad design, really… just definitely not healthy. I’m more of a brie or dill havarti girl, myself.
Beautiful Wisconsin
During my stay, I was actually on site at a camp for Jewish children. We were in the middle of trees, wildlife (a.k.a. birds), and some of the cleanest air I’ve gotten to inhale in a long time. The company was an amazing group of Jewish leaders who were assembling to discuss ways in which they could make the spaces in which they work more LGBT inclusive. It was an inspiring couple of days, to say the least.
Many thanks to Keshet, the organization that flew me out for the training and on accident, helped me cross this item off the list!
