33 in 13

Moon over Lake Michigan
We celebrated our wedding anniversary with a roadtrip east.  Wandering through Wisconsin's small towns, we just missed the deadline to play in West Bend's Germanfest Sheepshead tournament but danced some polkas as consolation instead and enjoyed our first visit to the Museum of Wisconsin Art. 

Then, further east to the big lake for Port Washington's Maritime Festival. 

South to Glenview to finally try Kopp's frozen custard (it lives up to its reputation) and eye their cow installation.

Further south to Milwaukee for Mexican Fiesta, 



and a really nice stay at the Residence Inn on the Riverwalk. On Saturday, we viewed excellent exhibits at the Milwaukee Museum of Art, 

had a first visit to buddy Jose Chavez's newly opened (and delicious and beautiful) Cafe La Paloma in Milwaukee's Walker's Point neighborhood, 


went further south to Humboldt Park for Indiafest and a fabulous nap under a shady tree, then headed home sweet home.  

Fun little celebration.
