Birthday fun

My birthday isn't always fun, sometimes it's like I forget I have one at all.  My birthday falls around the beginning of  both the Renaissance Festival and the Minnesota State fair, so most people are to busy to notice.  So this was the week of my 40th birthday! I did something impulsive, and crazy and drove 4 and half hours to Wisconsin for a hour and half class.  I know it's crazy but I needed to shake it up a bit.  The class was hosted at Circle Sanctuary, near Mount Horeb (the troll capital of the world). I decided we were going around 10:30 am that morning. We packed up the car and made it there right before the class began. I met new people and learned new things.  We spent the night at a hotel in Mount Horeb and we went troll hunting in the morning, but first, we had to play at the hotel pool and get a cup of coffee at the Cross Roads Cafe, not to far out of the way. We had lunch at the Grumpy Troll, and of course stopped at the Cat and Crow for yarn.  before we left.  I totally intended to visit the Crystal Caves on the way out, but time wasn't on my side. That just means I need to go back at a later date.  Jerid and Justin both had fun, at least they seem to.  My birthday isn't always the best, for two glorious days, I threw caution to wind and went on a road trip out of state. When it is good, and I can knock off some of things on my bucket list, I am so happy to do it.
