We already told you about our last crazy day of driving, which left us off just south of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Yesterday we took an easy day and spent the afternoon in Milwaukee which was beautiful. If you ever have a chance to visit you should. The city was so clean and it is right on Lake Michigan which we spent most of the day walking along side. Then we went to this cute little restaurant, Palomino in the Bayview area of town. They have vegan, vegetarian, and meat options. We both got hamburgers, and they may have been the best we have ever eaten! The burgers were made with local Wisconsin beef and local Wisconsin cheese, and trust me, you can tell a difference in the taste.
After our yummy lunch at Palomino, we drove the two hours up to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, with a quick stop at REI for some dorky water shoes for our lake travel and other upcoming adventures (thanks VisArts staff for the gift card!). We spent the night in Oshkosh with our great new friends Adam and Carrie who showed us around their cute little town like true Wisconsinites. We stopped at Lake Winnebago to stretch our legs before heading back to their house for delicious vegan dinner. Then we played an awesome board game called "Small World" before passing out on their living room floor.
Today we woke up early and drove ten hours all the way up to the top of Minnesota. We didn't quite make it in time to get through the Canadian customs, which closed at 7, however Ginger and Clark set us up with a cabin for the night. After a great fish dinner at the lodge, we took Chica on a walk around the camp and are now relaxing in bed, catching up on email and charging our i-things. Tomorrow morning we'll head to an island to spend the next couple days fishing, canoeing, and just relaxing.
Until next time, here are some photos from the last couple of days...
LOOOOVE the picture of the slide in the water.
