Wolf Lodge Wisconsin ...

Wolf Lodge Wisconsin

Photo-A-Day #613 12/12/06

I am in Madison, WI today and am leaving tomorrow. I demonstrated out in about 70 miles from Madison today. On the way out to the hospital I noticed that many of the hotels along the highway have water parks built on them and within them. I noticed one place called the Wolf Lodge (Would have been a perfect place for me to stay) had a water slide tube going out one side of the building and back in another. After the demonstration I stopped at that exit to check the place out. On the front entrance side of the hotel there is no sign of the water park, I was unable to get around back. They did have a kids center that had the statue above outside. I like wolves so I took this picture. Practically every hotel around has some form of indoor water park however. I must have passed 15 on my trip along highway 90 94.

Danny’s 90 94 Grill & Pizza

On that same exit I found Danny’s 90 94 Grill & Pizza. Danny’s 90 94 Grill & Pizza is a special place. It is set up like an old diner with a classic car theme. I had pulled up to McDonalds to get some lunch, got out of my car and saw Danny’s 90 94 Grill & Pizza and immediately got back into the car and drove to their parking lot. I got out of the car and took a few pictures of the outside of the building.


pedal cars

A guy came out of Danny’s 90 94 Grill & Pizza and said hello and opened the door for me. He said that he liked to come out and see it when people took pictures of the place. He worked at Danny’s 90 94 Grill & Pizza and may have been a manager. Inside the decorations continued a classic car theme including 5 or 6 pedal cars as decorations (these are about $300 – $400 each).

cheeseburger with their homemade chips

He showed me to my seat and gave me the menu and the blue plate special, it sounded good but I was in the mood for a burger. I ordered a cheeseburger with their homemade chips and a chocolate shake. The shake came in the old time glass and the metal mixing cup with the spoon in it as well. It was delicious, the whole meal was delicious.

cardboard cars

After I finished that awesome meal I talked with the manager again for a little bit and noticed these cardboard cars hanging up over the counter. They are for the kids meals. They are licensed by Ford and Danny’s 90 94 Grill & Pizza uses them for their kids meals. And you can buy one of each of them for $10.99 for the stack (about 15 or so). They were pretty fun looking and looked like kids would enjoy playing with them as well.

cheese shop

After lunch I stopped at a cheese shop as well. They had a mouse statue out front. There are a lot of giant sized statues all over the place here.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
