The spoonbills are pink.
Kerri approved of the pink.
They are funny looking.
They are even more funny looking when flying away.
Which they did a lot. Apparently they don’t like us.

Stone Crabs
We had stone crabs for brunch today. They were delicious. The shells are so thick they feel like ceramic.
This is a nearly whole stone crab shell. The fishermen only harvest one claw. The crabs are released to grow their claws back.
The restaurant had a wonderful view.
We could see lots of birds across the estuary.
We dumped our shells right back into the water they came out of.
This attracted lots of fish. And a shark that chased the fish, but we didn’t have the camera out for that.

Infinity Room
The infinity room stretches on forever.
Except not really.
It’s pretty hard to see through the forest if you’re any closer.
At the end of it there’s a little railing.
But if you look past the railing it still looks like it stretches on forever.
And if you look down you can see the top of the forest.
From the railing looking back it’s a long way but not nearly forever.
But it is a long walk back.
And the ground moves a bit because it’s cantilevered, which is a bit scary.

National Mustard Museum
The National Mustard Museum is very yellow.
They have mustards from all over the world.
And lots of mustards from Canada.
Including Edmontonian mustards.
And Toronto mustards.
They have mustard plasters and other mustard-based cure-alls.
And mustard art.
Various examples of mustard-inspired art.
Capable of fulfilling everyone’s artistic tastes.
Everyone who likes mustard anyway.
Although some things may be a bit extreme even for mustard fans.
They even had mustard art for movie fans.
And R-rated movie fans.
They have the world’s only mustard-only vending machine.
And a big store selling even more mustard.

Wisconsin Dells
The Wisconsin Dells are some sedimentary structures on the Wisconsin River that have drawn tourists for over 100 years.
If that looks like a bad picture taken from a pirate-themed minigolf course, that’s because most of the scenic viewpoints in the area don’t allow cameras for some reason.
Over a century as a tourist attraction has resulted in many interesting attractions.
Many of which seem more weird than scenic.
And seemed to have nothing to do with Wisconsin.
We definitely weren’t only there because it’s the waterpark capital of the world…
Where even the cheapest motel must have at least 6 elaborately decorated swimming pools.
