Valentine's Day Getaway Part 2 (два) The Excursion

What do you do at the Dells in the Winter?

1. Go to an Ice Castle ✓
Bucket List Check

We went to the Dells without any plans in mind but came across this Ice Castle when we drove around. The pictures don't give this place justice. An incredible, surreal experience.
This place made me fall in LOVE with snow and how majestic it can be.
This was at the entrance. Could hardly wait to get inside.

A romantic kiss inside the Ice Castle.
It was enormous. There were ice slides for adults and kids,
as well as ice tunnels to explore.

Hallways surrounded by snow.
The ground was slushy, but dry. No slipping.

A lady was kind enough to take this picture of us.

Just love this shot for some reason.
This place was so magical.

Inside the Throne Room, my handsome King stands all mighty.

So sci-fi.

Me and our 4 months pregnant belly.
Husband did a fantastic job taking this picture.
I didn't want to leave. It was a place of joy and marvel.

2. Hit Up Ripley's Believe It Or Not ✓
Bucket List Check

So we went here, crossing off another experience off my Bucket List.
Honestly, I thought it would be more mind blowing that it was, but still a fun place to visit.

Our eyeliners kind of match.

Someone's in the torture chamber.
Morbid.

Another torture contraption.
This was the entrance to the chambers above.

Because this is how Asians take photos... like a PRO!

3. Take Pictures In Front Of An Upside Down White House ✓
Bucket List check

The upside down White House. This place was intriguing. We planned to go, but the innkeepers at the B&B highly opposed going to it. Said it was a waste of money. It was just the interior of the White House built upside down. We decided not to go, but just take a picture in front for memory's sake. Maybe one day we'll check it out when we come back with Maksim.

Dre failed as a Secret Agent man. lol.
Olympus has fallen?

And I had to take a picture too.
Documenting Week 16 of pregnancy.

We also wandered around Broadway to check out the stores in the strip. Of course we went inside a Popcorn store and got some kettle cooked popcorn. We also went to a T-Shirt store where I got a Wisconsin Dells shirt. It's my thing. I collect T-shirts as souvenir from places we've been to. We got Maksim a Wisconsin Dells T-Shirt too, as well as a Paw Patrol shirt with his name printed in the back. When we gave it to him when we got back home, he was besides himself. 

We planned on going to other places, but I got tired easily so we went back to the cabin to rest up. We'll come back during the summer, a month before my due date, so Maksim can enjoy the water park. So excited. I know he'll love this place.
