Top four reasons I gained 5 pounds on vacation . . .

With everything going on with my poor dog and then my exciting news, and now getting prepared for the last week of summer vacation (with Hubby leaving for Oregon and fretting over my new job), I haven't talked at all about my trip to Wisconsin.

So to give a little overview, I prepared a list . . .

#4 - The Bear Trap restaurant!

Yes Virginia, there is fine dining in the great north woods! They have the BEST fried cheese curds in the whole state of Wisconsin, AND their best meal is a Garlic Stuffed Tenderloin that is so tender . . . my mouth is watering just thinking about it! Thankfully we only ate there once and that's why it's #4 on my list.

#3 - Trembley's

I think the picture speaks for itself . . .

#2 - My stupid head cold!

Thanks to my head cold I couldn't go on my daily nature walk (and it kept me out of the lake too - which really sucked!)

AND . . .

My #1 reason . . . DARI-MAID!

Land O'Lakes' answer to the local greasy spoon. There is no way you can pass by this place without having at least one soft-serve ice cream treat. And that's what I did . . . every day for a week! They also have wonderful Pizzaburgers (although I didn't partake in them this year).

So there you have it . . . and ever since then it's been fresh fruit, veggies and walking every day!

But isn't that what vacations are all about? :)
