Beer & Cheese in Wisconsin

First stop, Miller Beer Brewery Tour for some beer and Miller company propaganda. The tour was fun and the beer was free.

We hit the road heading toward our next destination, the Badlands. We planned stops at the Jolly Green Giant, Blue Earth, MN the Corn Palace and we were also on the lookout for some Wisconsin Cheddar! A few miles down the road we found Mousehouse Cheesehouse. Perfect, once inside we sampled their huge selection of cheese including a Chicken Noodle Soup Cheese and an Uber Sharp Cheese (aged 10 years), both were awesome.

Back on the road we passed hundreds of windmills on both sides of the road on our way to the Green Giant where we attempted our first try at live video streaming with our friends back

home. Live streaming status = fail, I think we will resort to YouTube for future videos. A few pictures with the Giant and we continued West. A little hungry and running low on gas we pulled of to hit McDonald's and to fill up the tank. After our Big Macs, we get back in the car and drive off completely forgetting to fill the tank. Oops! We drive a few miles before noticing we

forgot and now REALLY need gas, a sign in the distance tells us gas was up ahead... but off 5 miles off the main road, we take the exit. We find the gas station and fill up with premium fuel that was somehow cheaper than regular (something tells me it wasn't the 90 octane it advertised). On our way back to

I-90 we drove through a swarm of bugs that left Kyle's car looking like he got a new splatter paint job. Final stop before the hotel was the Corn Palace. Unfortunately, it closed at 9 and we were only able to have some random lady take our picture in front of a corn statue.

Once again tired from a long day we found our hotel where we made friends with a giant buffalo head while waiting to check it.
