Trip to Wisconsin
Many of you know that my brother married Jenni this summer, but you may not know that he moved to Wisconsin with Jenni for her to finish college. They left right after the wedding in July which was hard because we had them here all summer. Thanksgiving was going to be the next time we saw them, so we decided to use the Labor Day weekend and visit them. Mom and Dad went with us as well. The drive was long - over 12 hours. We left on Friday right after school and drove all night. We arrived around 5:30 a.m. and took a NAP! BJ had to work Saturday evening, so we wanted to get up and going to have some time together. We went to the Millers brewery. It was very neat! BTW, Saturday was also Ray's birthday! Happy Birthday to him, right!?! Three free samples of beer! ha! Later we went to the park which was right beside Lake Michigan. We rented a surrey (basically large bike) and rode around. The boys loved it! It was cool beside the lake. Gage complained about being too cold! For dinner we went to California Pizza which is like Larry's here in Malvern. We had cheeseburger, hawaiian delight, meat crazers, etc. It was fabulous! For dessert - The Cheesecake Factory! Yummy! BJ and Jenni also had a cake for Ray! :) Sunday we got up and went to the Jelly Belly jelly bean factory! It was too cool! Then we did some shopping in the outlets! FUN! The men and Gavin played golf in the afternoon, and the women and Gage went back to the park. Mom rented a bike, and Gage and I rented a bike that was similar to the Batmobile! Ha! It was so fun! We hated the time was so short, but atleast we got to see Milwaukee AND BJ and Jenni. Thanks for having us!
