Saturday, June 12, 2010Bill: Today again was a traveling day from the suburbs of Minneapolis, MN to the small town of Eagle River, WI. The trip was uneventful as we drove across the rolling countryside of Wisconsin. We took two lane roads that went through small towns, but going at 55 mph it was relaxing.
Last night we stayed in a BestWestern motel in Plymouth, MN that was very interesting. We noticed that there were quite a number of families with young children staying at the motel. Well, when we checked further we found an amazing indoor pool area that caters to the children. It is in the middle of the motel, two stories high, with rooms having balconies over looking the pools. Yes, pools, there are two pools, one specifically designed for very young children. It has a swan slide, water coming from a overhead bar and water emptying into conical baskets that when filled, drop water into the pool, (see pictures). The other pool is for older children and adults and has a large slide and a basketball net.
Arriving in Eagle River we found out that a beer fest was in progress all afternoon, but we arrived too late to get there.
