Day 678: Exploring Wausau, Wisconsin and Flying a Spacecraft

Today we drove into town with Tricia’s sister to explore Wausau.  Our first stop was Marathon Park, where we took a look at the concession building grandpa Glenn built back in the day:

The ice rink building where Trish and her sister skated was open, so we looked around inside.  The ice is gone for the season:

Next we walked through Isle of Ferns park near downtown:

After we got back to the RV, Trish made a bracelet for her online jewelry store:

While in downtown, I picked up tourist information in the local visitor information center, and we found out that Tuesday nights the local high school planetarium hosts Artemis: Spaceship Bridge Simulator games.  In this game, five players each control an aspect of the ship: Helm, Weapons, Engineering, Communications, and Science, while the captain gives orders.  The main screen was projected onto the planetarium wall:

The kids and I watched the first game as we had never seen it before.  In the second game of the night, M was at Weapons and I was at Engineering.  It was great fun!  B opted not to play, and she put on her best bored face.

Meanwhile, back at the RV, Trish spent the night visiting with relatives that came over to Aunt Diane’s house where we’re parked.
