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.

Usually our summer vacations coincide with Scott's work trips. Since he didn't have any this summer I thought we should take advantage of actually taking a vacation. What, my workcations are always classics? I suppose a second real vacation this year wouldn't hurt. We definitely have more time than normal. As long as we took Covid-19 precautions and avoided people. We finally settled on a time to go. Blake joined us so we borrowed our dad's van so we could ride together. Scott had just driven from Michigan the day before. Blake had met my parents in Wisconsin to get the van and then drove from Duluth to pick us up. I offered to drive since I literally only drive twice a month. I was still pretty tired from a long drive home. Don't @ me for doing this, as the kids say. Our kitty has been havin

The Cape Cod of the Midwest

We talked Brittany into joining us for a road trip to Door County, WI. Scott had never been there before ( or so I believe) . Considering how short of a drive it is I'm surprised my family didn't go that often, either.
