Rock-in and Rolling
Our first tour of the day in Spring Green is The House of the Rock. Wow. Alex Jordan built this fantastic home with The Infinity room extending unsupported over the valley floor to a length of 218 feet. The house features a Japanese Garden (with 14 foot quadruple waterfalls), Mill House, The World's largest Carousel with 269 carved animals, 20,000 lights and 182 chandeliers - and that's only one of three carousels in this massive structure. His collections include an organ room with a dozen or more organs and pipes that would have Lianne and Neil spellbound, an enormous sea creature longer than the Statue of Liberty is tall, and collections of everything you can imagine - dolls, circus memorabilia, musical creations, guns, hot air balloons, carriages, 3 hours of memorabilia and the house sitting on the rock with sights beyond imagination and more. It is really hard to express it.
We left there for one of our famous cheese and cracker sandwich at a Scenic Lookout closeby. The Cheese is from the Frankenmuth Cheese Haus and tastes delicious sitting on a picnic table overlooking the rolling green valley and the Infinity room of the House of the Rock. After lunch we lie on a blanket on the grass for a quick nap because we are off on yet another tour! We are ROCKin and rolling today!
