La Road Trip

We spent last weekend (mostly) in La Crosse, Wisconsin. We arrived Saturday after a short road trip filled with fall colors to our campsite in Pettibone resort. Since the weather was in the 40s, the tent area was a ghost town. It wasn't the best setup, but we tried to make the best of it. Oktoberfest in downtown La Crosse was a bust. It was small, boring and didn't have much of anything "German" actually going on. The Gasthaus in Stillwater was clearly the winner in fun and festivities.
On the way back home, we stopped into Treasure Island and dropped $20 into the slots. After about 20 minutes we were up, so we quickly cashed out continued our trip home $18 dollars richer. It was nice to spend the night warm and cozy in our own bed again.
It's hard to believe it's mid October already, I just got around to putting up the Halloween decorations only yesterday. Gopher hockey kicks off this weekend, whilst the NHL is still dead in the water. I was telling Angie how glad I am to have Borderlands to distract me from the void of not having the Wild to follow. The Vikings have been holding my interest as well; it's nice to see them performing well and make things interesting on Sundays.
