Wisconsin Dells wasn't too bad. Almost as soon as we arrived the snow began to melt. Our two shows went well in the tiny theater and then we had the day off to ring in the new year.
I went for a morning run to Denny's Diner, not to be confused with the chain restaurant known as Denny's - there is no affiliation. Denny's Diner is a 50's themed, jukebox-pumping, color-blasting, hopping place to eat. With delicious raspberry pancakes, I might add.
We also had a lengthy trip to the outlet mall, where we stocked up on bargain items for our upcoming foray to Texas. I got a button-down rose-patterned shirt that I look forward to wearing with my cowboy boots and a rose in my hair. Watch out, cowboys!
For our evening celebration, we went to Ginza of Tokyo Steakhouse and Restaurant. We were seated at a hibachi table, and our chef impressed us with his flaming tower of onions, knife-juggling capabilities and accuracy with tossing shrimp into some of our mouths (I got mushrooms). The food was delicious, and the sake was quite tasty. We stayed til half past ten and just about closed the place down. Back at the hotel, we celebrated the New Year twice - once on East Coast (NEW YORK!!!) time and once on Midwest time. The latter was filled with champagne toasts, confetti poppers, sounding kazoos and boys lauding kisses. What can I say, "boys will be boys..."
