Thanksgiving Trip - Part 1

Grant Park and the 7 bridges
    A beautiful 60 degree day greeted us our first day in Wisconsin. Unusual for November but very welcome! We lingered in Vegas on the way- not to gamble but waiting for planes to be fixed. Our gracious host and hostess still picked us up at the airport at 1:30 AM. You can't beat the Lepak B&B and limo service.  After a delightful soak in their outdoor hot tub and breakfast, we explored the sights with Wayne and Echo ( the smiling dog and Garrett's first girlfriend)!
On the way to Lake Michigan

This my Californian friends is the Wisconsin version of the Pacific….. Lake Michigan.  An ocean without the salt!

A gorgeous day for sailing

Milwaukee Art Museum

Best coffee joint in Milwaukee- right at the lakefront.  Next we picked up Shane and Nikelle from the airport ( they were on vacation). Then off to Berlin and their apartment- 1 hr 45 min " up north".  Dave had to work the beginning of the week so he dropped me at Cathy and Randy's Monday and I had lunch with these lovely ladies. Then one night at their house, another day of work for Dave downtown at his former office and back to Berlin and our kids :)
