Our first cross-country drive from Peterborough, NH to Kalispell, MT happened in December of 2017, and our second stop was La Crosse, WI. I knew I had found a cool little hotel, The Charmant, on the banks of the Mississippi in a town we'd never been to before. And that dogs were welcome. I did NOT know that for the past twenty-odd years the local Rotary Club in tandem with the community hosts one of the most charming Christmas displays I have ever seen -- The Rotary Lights Holiday Display. And now I've seen it twice. Years back when we stayed in La Crosse, we pulled in late and by the time we unloaded the vehicle, fed the dog and ate dinner, the display was extinguished for the night. This year I vowed not to miss it, and we didn't. Best road-trip-leg-stetching-opportunity so far, and there have been a lot! Just gonna let you enjoy the show.
