8 Things to Do in Menomonie, WI: Beer & Cheese!
Traveling through Wisconsin by bus has opened my eyes to cities along the way that are interesting, and great to visit, even without a car. One of those bus stops as I was making my way from Minneapolis to Eau Claire was Menomonie.

For someone who likes to read as much as I do, I honestly have not heard of Sterling North. That is, until a visit to Edgerton in Wisconsin. It was one of the suggested stops we visited on a recent trip there. Since the Sterling North Museum is open during one of our free hours, it made sense to stop by.

This post is part of our Wisconsin Series. Here are a few…

4 Day Niagara Falls and Toronto Canada Itinerary
If you are going to Niagara Falls, the more 'fun' side is the Canadian side. There's so many places to see and do in the Canada side, but after a while the falls can get boring. Two whole days is enough in Niagara Falls if you want to see both the American and the Canadian side. Other people just do this on a day trip, so it is perfect if you are looking for a quick weekend destination. Toronto is just 1 1/2 hours drive away from Niagara Falls, and Buffalo is 20-30 minutes away from the US side. And so, we also provide more tips on where to go…
