Ok, we are alive but COLD!!!
We made it safe and sound to Milwaukee, moved in to our condo that sadly pales in comparison to our vacation home in Carmel...
You can see our amazing view, and yes it was snowing...
Jason and I agree we have never felt this kind of cold before. One morning we woke up and the thermometer said 8! No, I didn't miss a number and mean to write 38, or even 28... It said 8 degrees.
WHAT DID WE GET OURSELVES INTO!?!?!
Even so, we are trying to make the best out of this, shall we say, interesting situation.
We have tried some of the local delicacies such as:
Yes, those are cheese curds...
Which are usually served fried accompanying what is called a Butterburger. I literally almost threw up from the amount of fat in this meal alone.
We also sampled some very good beer... this was a very fun night at a great German place called Maders. It is a well known restaurant that has been visited by many important people such as JFK, Frank Sinatra, and even Britney Spears!!
Jason insisted that we had to go to a Packers Game to see Lambeau Field. We compromised and agreed to go right away so we could avoid the snow...
The Packers stadium was really amazing. It was huge and in this tiny town with really nothing else going on...
To park, everyone just pays $20 and parks on someones lawn in the neighborhood. We chose this house. Seriously! We were laughing the whole time!! They even let us use their bathroom!
We got some food from the pub, and what do you know... more fried cheese curds, cheese and beer soup and Jason's burger even had this strange cheese butter spread on it. After this meal we decided to stop trying the local delicacies... Our pants are getting too tight. Haha, no really...
The field was beautiful...
Jason was so excited...
I was just really, really cold. Everyone around us kept commenting on how nice it was that night, I just kept my mouth shut and covered...
The sunset was beautiful...
All in all, we had a great time. Milwaukee is nice, but its no California. We are appreciating the fact that we get to see other parts of the country but also are realizing how wonderful we had it at home... Its nice to know that where your family and friends live is exactly where you want to be...
You know what they say...
Theres no place like home!
