We had a long weekend full of activities in celebration and one last big trip of the summer. We had Friday-Tues to travel. We started our vacation by spending Friday night with our dear friends Kevin, Farrah and their sweet daughter Cora. We had a relaxing evening of pizza, games and good conversation! Friends Mike and Jen also stopped by their house and joined the fun.
Saturday after lunch we made our way to our besties in Rosemount, the Pergolski's(Court and Aaron) We had a wonderful afternoon sitting on their porch, enjoying great weather and conversation!
Then we went our for dinner and Court and I went all out and had crab! So nummy! We ended the night at Rosemount Leprechaun Days! The boys enjoyed the beer garden while Court and I enjoyed mini donuts and cotton candy! We all enjoyed the fireworks, then called it a night!
Sunday morning we packed and left for our road trip to Milwaukee! The Pergolski's were awesome to watch Darpy while we took our trip! We traveled to Mequon (suburb outside of Milwaukee) where my brother in law Eddy has been assistant coach of the Lakeshore Chinooks this summer. A collegiate, wooden bat league comprised of D1 players. They play 70 games in 75 days and several players have been drafted to the major league. We watched the Chinooks play a home game on Sunday night; great game, crowd participation and they won 4-2!
After the game we took a walk behind the field on Concordia WI campus and enjoyed the beautiful view of Lake Michigan!
We were fortunate enough to stay with Eddy's host family, Jeff and Cindy. We had a meal with them after the game, visited, and went to bed.
We had breakfast with Eddy Monday morning, then made our way to Milwaukee. We had lunch at Milwaukee Ale House,
Then walked walked around and stopped in some fun shops. We had some time before our next stop so we went to the Milwaukee Arts Museum! Saw the feature of Posters of Paris, a Georgia O'keefe tribute and other unique art pieces. Then we stopped at a kids store called Little Monsters, only to find out they were closed. So we went to Whole Foods grocery store and got a snack: sushi and blood orange Italian soda! Then made our way to the Brewers game! Eddy was able to get us tickets! We tailgated with our snacks
Then sat in some great seats! 16th row right behind the Brewers dugout!
We headed back to Jeff and Cindy's after the game and went right to bed as we had a travel day ahead of us! So Tuesday morning we had a quick breakfast with Eddy, said goodbye, and headed home.
On our way home, we made a stop to visit Brother Paul(Paul's former mentor, now successor as theater director) in Mazomanie, WI. It was a great visit! Then we picked up Darpy and made it home!
