On The Twenty-First Day of Advent We Drove Down To Milwaukee

I got a surprise day off on Tuesday which allowed us extra time to see family for Christmas. Originally we were going to just go to my parents house, but with the extra days we were able to drive to Michigan.

We hadn't been to Grand Rapids yet to see my sister's house. With her newborn in tow this was the perfect chance to visit.

On the way we stopped at our favorite little cheese palace, Foster Cheese Haus.

We broke up the long drive to Michigan by stopping in Milwaukee for the night.

More cheese please. I made a classic lasagna.

We took out all of my parents Little People toys. The classic toys are so much better than the newfangled Fisher Price toys.

These brought back a lot of memories for me too.

Yum.

A Schools Out for Summer Bike Ride

Summer was finally here and we've all got bikes once again! When the kids want crepes, you gotta make them. Theo even helped me this time. Guess we could have used a bigger table out here. We needed to scout a spot for Meadow's birthday party. We thought today we'd take a family bike ride on Minnehaha Parkway. Meadow got a new helmet over Memorial Weekend which really completed her new bike set up. She's so cute. We stopped at Lyndale Farmstead Bike shop to fix the grips on Theo's bike. Good as new. Always love Minneapolis in the spring. This spot seemed like a good one. Theo wanted a portrait too. There was rain coming so we stopped to wait it out under the Nicollet Avenue bridge. We also saw a few people canoeing and kayaking on the creek. These guys had the same idea as us.

RV Spring Break: Savannah to Miami

Oh, hey, we made it to Savannah. Time for a nice stroll (well, as leisurely as Brooke will allow). I was pretty excited to be going to Savannah, even if we could only stay for a few hours. The tricky thing with having an RV is finding a place to park. The Fahm Avenue parking lot had RV spots and then we walked over to the historic district. Meadow should go to the Savannah College of Art and Design. You know, if she can get a scholarship. Savannah is just as cool in person as you think. I should have done at least one house tour. I had to embarrass Meadow with taking her photo in front of the first Girl Scout Headquarters. Brooke got me to go into the beautiful Catholic church right in the historic district. I don't think I've ever been in a Cathedral Basilica. Usually it's one or the other. It seems like every few blocks there was a perfect square. We should build all cities like this. For lunch we went to Savannah Smokehouse . We ended up getting the sampler for 2, whi...
