I had already made my annual pilgrimage to West O the day before, and suggested something more to her liking - Wine. Since my last visit the Wine Bar and Art Gallery, the space has expanded into David Thoreson's Blue Water Studio. David actually owns the entire building and if you look behind the door in what I call the "Livingroom" addition, you'll see that his work space is alive and well. There's also an upstairs, but I have no idea what David has going on up there. As this is the 25th Anniversary of Blue Water Studios and the Wine Bar, all the art work on the walls is David Thoreson's, and what a stunning collection it is! Gayle and I hung out, enjoyed a couple glasses of wine, and wished we were here during the weekend to hear their live music offerings (played outside on the patio). Gayle and I were impressed with the wine selection, generous pours, and at a reasonable price, in addition to the comfortable space to enjoy them. And as much as I love West O, this was the right place for us to hang out and spend some time together.

We still share a good laugh about the time we walked in and the bar keep immediately yelled out at me - What do ya want? I meekly ordered a beer and decided to keep my back to wall.

Fast forward a few *cough* decades later and I got the chance to take my kiddos to the newly renovated park. We opted for a day pass for $40 each. I thought we got a lot of bang per buck and loved that we could leave the park for lunch in the air conditioning. The area by the lake (Lake View) is thoughtfully done, parking is a non-issue, staff was pleasant, wait lines were scarce -- and if rides aren't your thing there's a raceway and arcade. All in all a win! Don't go to Okoboji and not stop at Arnold's Park.
