On The Twenty-Second Day Of Advent We Saw An Old Friend

The next morning we had plans to meet up with our wedding officiator for breakfast. Meadow thought we were going to walk there.

We were going to Comet, so that wasn't possible. This guy loves Milwaukee.

Olger was a little late (had car troubles), but that smile showed up eventually.

We had some late breakfast.

We caught up on life. Olger is finishing up med school. I'm proud of this guy.

Olger had some chores to do, so we went our separate ways.

My cousin Katie is the head pastry chef at a new doughnut shop, Holey Moley Coffee and Doughnuts in the Third Ward. Of course we had to go check it out.


I got the S'mores doughnut.

Mine was egg nog flavor and very good.

After this Meadow took a nap while we finished Orange is the New Black. Then we, as in Scott, drove the five-ish hours to Grand Rapids.

An Appalachian Hipcamp Road Trip: A MKE and O-HI-O pitstop on the way to Tawney Farm, West Virginia

Day 1  Scott had gotten a lucky gig to check out some off the beaten path campsites for Hipcamp. Our trip was going to bring us to the Appalachians. We packed our car full and headed east "early" Friday morning. Early for us is never that early, but at least we got out on the road at a decent hour. While driving through Madison we stopped at Cabela's to pick up a few more supplies that we would need. Our original plan was to make it to Indiana Sand Dunes tonight. Scott mentioned that if we drive through Milwaukee we could skip the Chicago tolls. I agreed and then he asked if we could stop in Cudahy to say hi to the folks. I said we might as well stay the night.  When we got there we went to Tsing Tao with my dad, my childhood favorite restaurant. It's in an old Ihop and has a great buffet at any time of the day.  Sorry Scott, I wasn't impressed. That's because your pretentious. Anyways, Meadow decided she didn't want t

Post Vaxx Memorial Day Weekend Fun in Three Lakes

  We went up to the cottage for one our never-miss weekends, Memorial Day. We got to the cottage at night and in the morning I made some crazy bacon-pancakes for the family and Brooke's parents. This weekend was my annual deep clean of our car. The amount of crumbs and food under the kids seats was pretty disgusting.   

Little Chute Christmas (Or Spending Too Much Time at Your In-Laws)

A few days ago my mom said with holiday travel they recommend getting to your destination by 10am. I said, we won't even by out of our house by 10am. But boy did my family prove me wrong.  10 am arrival? Who even wakes up willingly before like 9 am when you're not working? It's Christmas and this year we'd be going to Brooke's family once again. After many years of passing it by we finally stopped at Chili Corners Club  along US Highway 10. We saw pictures of the inside on Google maps and had no idea it was so big.  Meadow got Chicken Noodle soup since she was feeling a bit under the weather, but it was Theo that would soon be souring the Christmas cheer. The big hall we ate in wasn't exactly cool. But surprisingly they had a sign that said, "No kids in the bar area." Is this even Wisconsin? Recently I heard about a creamery , Union Star Cheese, that still produces cheese the traditional way. I knew it was on our way to my parents house so I suggested
