Day 8--traveling

Today was basically a travel day, but we did make some stops along our way to Chicago. First, we went to a cheese store/factory. They produce cheese that is sold for Kroger (Ralphs), so now we have seen it being made. We learned something today about Colby Jack cheese, see if you can answer the following question: a) Colby Jack cheese is made from two different cows, Colby and Jack b) It is a blend of Jack cheese and Colby cheese c) The people that invented this type of cheese were named Colby and Jack or d) It is all one kind of cheese, but with two different colors mixed together? (The answer will be at the end of this post.)
Then we stopped by a "Deer Farm". They had a lot of goats, and deer. There were several babies that were "adorable", as Erin would say. There was also a large buck with big antlers. Dan tried to pet the Bison that was there, (and we all know that is not a good idea!). The bison tried to head butt him! We feed all the animals, which the kids loved.
Next, it was on to Madison and the University of Wisconsin. We walked all over campus. We had ice cream that they make on campus, plus went to the student union where there is a nice terrace on the Lake. We finally arrived at our hotel outside of Chicago. The next few days will be spent exploring Chicago.
Answer: D
