During our six weeks in Wisconsin as part of our 50 state road trip, we stayed for five nights at the Super 8 Wausau.

Some Super 8s have had fairly good … [Read more...] about Review: Super 8 Wausau, Wisconsin
3 Fun Things To Do In Wausau, Wisconsin

Review: Home2 Suites Green Bay, Wisconsin
When looking at our accommodation options for Green Bay, my initial plan had been to book in at the Hyatt Regency as it only costs 5,000 points per night. While searching on the Hilton website though, a great paid rate showed up for the Home2 Suites Green Bay. We'd not stayed … [Read more...] about Review: Home2 Suites Green Bay, Wisconsin
