Sam had a meeting up in Green Bay, Wisconsin - so we packed a bag and rode along.
First stop: Wisconsin Dells - MooseJaw (Beer and food), Mt. Olympus (love the roller coasters and go carts, Paul Bunyon's for breakfast, we even had an Old time photo taken with all of us. Fun time!
Second Stop: on to Green Bay. We saw Lambeau Field and stayed at a cool hotel called the Tundra Lodge. Also, we had dinner at Brett Favre's steakhouse - good food, a bit pricey...
after Green Bay, we drove south. Had a quick stop in Johnson Creek (Sam's work meeting) and then down to Chicago. We ended up coming in on Saturday a couple hours earlier than a Cubs game and decided to try to get some tickets... We really lucked out with the tickets we found! Third baseline, four rows from the field .... That had to be the unexpected highlight of the trip! Jim Belushi was on hand to throw out the first pitch and then do his famous back flip off the pitcher's mound. And what trip to Chicago would be complete without PIZZA - we headed to Giordano's - YUMMY!
This trip involved lots of togetherness in the CAR! A lot of driving but overall a pretty good time. Our last stop was Dixon for a visit with D & J, and to celebrate Keale (15th) and Ellis'(11th) birthdays. Grandma was equipped with a cake and presents. Can't get any better than that!
P. S. Keale got a new camera from us for her birthday and she took some pretty good pictures with it! Explains why she is in all of them!

Happy birthday to all!!
Johnson Creek is in our 'neck' of the woods...did you hit the outlet mall?
Just re-read the post. Jason LOVES Paul Bunyons (sp?)!!! We go there everyime we're at the Dells!!!! If you're in the Green Bay again the kids might like Bay Beach. Kind of like a permanent carnival (but without the carnies) and rides are about 50 cents.
I am SO jealous, Jim Belushi at the Cubs game!!! Can't wait to see you all in Michigan!
