5 Great Bingeworthy Shows on Netflix

Not in any particular order... Lovebird - Turkish melodrama about an orphan who is raised by her aunt and uncle and who has a love/hate relationship with her handsome cousin (which in that time period/culture wasn't weird apparently.) Lovebird has stunningly beautiful lead actors (who are newly married btw, they met while making the show). The acting is a little over the top but that seems to be the normal style. I got addicted quickly to the storyline and incredible chemistry between the stars. It is an emotional rollercoaster in the best way. The Office (US) - Classic NBC sitcom based on the British version created by Ricky Gervais. Super funny, and the humor still holds up over time. There are also some great love storylines for the romantics out there. Parks and Rec - Another great NBC sitcom produced by some of the same people that worked on the office and Amy Poehler. It is about the trials and tribulations surrounding local politics. It took me a few e...

Labor Day Weekend In Wisconsin Dells

Hotel: Comfort Suites in Portage, WI Review: 4/5 - would stay again Pros: Clean, roomy suites, sizeable indoor pool, 2 hot tubs, free parking, only 20 minutes from Lake Delton and Wisconsin Dells, washer/dryer on site, vending in lobby, several cable channels, continental breakfast has good variety Cons:  Wifi didn't work at any point of our 3 day trip, some members of staff weren't super helpful/friendly Day 1:  Original Wisconsin Ducks (3.5/5) - The cheapest option seems to be purchasing tickets online.  Ducks run every 20 minutes and you don't have to purchase a specific time.  They operate rain or shine and are held half on land, half on the Wisconsin River.  The guide we had was friendly and outgoing.  The only problem is that it was next to impossible to hear him over the loudspeaker.  The guides make their money from selling booklets and postcards that are $5 cash only. Witches Gulch (almost) - We tried to drive he...
