There is so much to catch up on! Twenty-four hours without wi-fi has been quite a challenge.
After leaving Wisconsin Tuesday morning we pushed through to Austin Minnesota to see the Spam Museum. We had NO IDEA how fascinating the history of Spam was! The museum is a little jewel tucked into the far corner of the Hormel home plant. It is colorful, informative, interactive, super child friendly and free. You could easily spend 3-4 hours just working your way through the exhibits. For those of you thinking the time change has caused temporary insanity... Did you know that during WWII the Hormel company donated millions of cans of Spam to feed American troops overseas, that there was a group of women called the "spamettes" who traveled through Europe entertaining the troops or that Hawaii consumes more Spam than any other state in the US AND that Obama has a favorite Spam dish from his childhood???!!!
The children had never tried Spam before, luckily there were many places nearby with special Spamtastic choices.

OMG, Rick will be so jealous when I tell him you went to a SPAM museum! Like Obama, he has a favorite spam dish from childhood. I don't know what it is, though. He's only allowed to make it when I'm away. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the blog, and your trip sounds like it's going swimmingly! Much more interesting than the one I took with my parents so many years ago. Road Food alone would have made it 10 times better, I'd say.
