Wisconsin Trip: Day 2 (Nestle Chocolate Festival)

After the family picnic, my dad, Lori, and my half-brother and sister all drove out to Burlington to go to the Nestle Chocolate Festival. The entire way there we were on the look-out for the dairy cows and guess what we saw...no dairy cows. We saw maybe 3 cows and they were all meat cows. Tons of farm land though.

My brother and sister wanted me to ride a ride with them, so of course that was the first thing we had to do. Since I was the adult, I was on the outside, so I got squished by two kids! I still have bruises from that stupid ride.



We then ate dinner, which involved us trying a bunch of Wisconsin favorites. We got to try cheese curds (which were delicious by the way), mini donuts, and pizza bread. I could definitely go for some more cheese curds and mini donuts.

After dinner we finally made it to the chocolate tent. They had a chocolate eating contest which the kids loved watching. Then we paid $2 and got to try chocolate at 5 different booths. It was all so yummy. You think they would give you all the free chocolate you would want with the entrance fee though. I never understood fairs. You have to pay for the entrance fee, the rides, and the food. They also had tons of chocolate sculptures to look at.



When the chocolate tent closed, Lori took the kids to ride some more rides, and my dad took J and I to listen to his favorite cover band, "The Toys". They were really good. They switched from country to rock in a heart beat. There was too much smoking for me to stand in the tent too long though.

Coming soon...Day 3 in Chicago. Starting with the Sears Tower.
