incredible birthday adventure - day 2

After a quick swim in the hotel pool, giant scoops of ice cream from Maggie Moo's and a heaping dose of Nick-at-Night, we all collapsed into bed last night and slept until 9:00 this morning. Everyone is still looking forward to tonight's show - but in the meantime, it was time for another clue: "There's no ESCAPING our next adventure!"

The kids consulted the map, but after three good guesses, still had no idea where we were headed. Thankfully it was a short trip to the Appleton History Museum - home of the Harry Houdini exhibit. Punk and Kooka loved the castle-like front door, and all of the interactive exhibits inside.


Kooka performed a dead lift on 200 pound weights, and endured the "ice cage" for over two minutes (Punk and Mom only lasted 20 seconds - Dad lasted about a minute). Punk escaped from a straight jacket and a locked trunk. Both kids freed themselves from a locked jail cell, and learned a new magic trick. We learned some of the cool tricks Houdini used in his incredible escapes - and no, we're not telling.


After that we stopped for a quick pic with Simba. The town is filled with them - just like the Snoopys in the Twin Cities. This was the most classic Simba we saw.


Then it was back to the hotel for another swim, a snack and a siesta. Tonight we're Broadway bound, and tomorrow we leave town for another leg of our adventure.
