John went to Dallas for the weekend for work, so I spent today at Devil's Lake with a friend. The weather was perfect, though the water is still too cold for swimming.
Mindy and I climbed up some small boulders to get to a trail. It took longer than planned to find the trail, so we were a little tired at the end. It was fun and a good change of scenery. The summers in Wisconsin are so pretty that it is easy to quickly forget about the brutal winters.
Here are a couple of pictures. These pictures don't really show how far we climbed but that's the way it goes, I guess. We started out at the beach down there.
John and I took a trip to Milwaukee last weekend for our 1st anniversary. We wanted to do something outside of Madison but not too expensive.
We ate at a couple of really nice restaurants, walked around the downtown and historic areas, and stumbled upon a kite festival. It was windy so I guess it was the perfect weekend for a kite party!
Our first hotel was motorcycle themed and next to the Harley Museum. They turned an old warehouse into a trendy, dimly lit, and well-decorated boutique hotel.
The second hotel was a Residence Inn that overlooked the river and lake with a view of the art museum.
It's not letting me post more than one picture so you'll just have to deal with just this one.
Love to all of you.
Nicole
