We're no cheese-heads, but we loved Wisconsin!


Being from Pittsburgh, I haven't done the typical Midwest thing and traveled to Wisconsin for vacations. Apparently if you have lived in the Chicagoland area for any amount of time, you will have traveled to the Wisconsin Dells, Door County or a variety of other attractions that I had no knowledge of before moving here. I've heard people say that northern WI is really the place to go because of the beautiful lakes and scenery. Well, we traveled way north for a vacation with friends and I have to say, it was better than I had imagined! It was so quiet and peaceful and was just the getaway we all needed. It was so nice to have a week at a slow pace with no real agenda except to have fun. The kids loved every minute and have been begging to go back nearly every day. Here's a few pics that capture our time there. I still give out a big sigh just looking at these pics, yep it was that great. Thanks to our dear friends for a wonderful vacation, it was definitely one of our favorites!

 The beautiful lake the house was on. Rich and I went kayaking one morning, just the two of us. 
It was luxurious!

 Having fun at a park in the closest town.

 Nearly every day we were out in the water on our friends' boat. Here's Braden driving. :)

Daddy learned to water ski! He got it after just a few tries!


Probably one of the kids' favorite things was to play in the water by the pier. Simple buckets and spoons were all they needed for hours of fun!

 And another favorite, snack time by the water!

Zoned out on the way home after a great week. Bye Wisconsin!
