During our vacation and the day we left to go home, we decided take a trip to the Downtown part of Wisconsin Dells. This place was pretty amazing. The "downtown" strip was full of fudge/candy stores, restaurants, t-shirt and gift shops and tons more. It was like a pregnant woman's dream strip (food wise).
The first trip we took downtown was to visit and view. Kale and I were also desperately wanting to visit Cheesecake Heaven. Yes. We. Love. Cheesecake.
 |
| We decided at nearly $6 a piece, that Reeses Peanut Butter Cup would work for us both. Oh boy, its a good thing we decided to share a slice. Two bites and we were both sick with creamy cheesecake goodness. |

| My boys were especially intrigued with this particular t-shirt "Mom..I want this shirt!" ME: " um...NO" But I did snap a pic of this crazy shirt for my own amusement. |
 |
| We purchased enough candy at this shop to put everyone in both Condos into a sugar induced coma for a week! |

| Of all the fudge shops, this one really caught my nose! It smelled amazing! Walking down the strip we could smell the candy being made. |

| Eating up all of our fudge and chocolate covered goodies |
We enjoyed eating at Mac's. This little place was a macaroni lovers paradise. They served macaroni and cheese in 15 different combinations. It was actually difficult to make the decision on which "mac" we wanted to try!
 |
| I ordered the pulled pork mac |
 |
| Kale ordered the lime chicken mac |
 |
| Morgan, Colten and Tyler just wanted cheesy mac |
All in one day...we bought 3 pounds of candy + fudge + chocolate coated goodies + I wasn't leaving without eating a fresh caramel covered apple. I was in love :) Not only was this a homemade fudge shop BUT everything was so fresh...the caramel melted off the apple in my mouth. It was absolutely amazing.
The second day we visited, I knew I was getting funnel cake. Absolutely craving this when I saw it during our first trip.
These funnel cakes were divine. Fresh. Soft and warm. Powder sugar coated goodness.
We also did a little gift shopping while we were down there. I purchased a Dells t-shirt, a Dells bear stuffed doll for Morgan and Kale bought himself a new coffee mug.
Morgan fell in love with this pink elephant. She actually didn't want to get off. So, we let her "ride" the elephant and snapped a few pics.
If we ever come back to the Dells, we are definitely going to visit downtown again for some amazing food and treats.
