Brats. Baseball. Anniversary.

It's been a year...

a whole year since that amazing day we got married.

It's been an awesome year.  good times. bad times. learning times. fun times. fabulous times. Overall I wouldn't change a thing.  I love Adam more and more everyday and so glad I am the lucky woman that gets to be his wife. So enough with the mushy stuff.....

Because of the long Memorial weekend, both Adam and I were lucky enough to have Monday off. So to celebrate our anniversary we headed up to Wisconsin for a little adventure. 

What's in Wisconsin you ask?

-The World's Largest Brat Fest

Who knew there was such thing of a brat fest anyway?  It was pretty awesome though. Pretty much a carnival like atmosphere. Live music, rides, the oscar meyer weiner mobile, and lots and lots and lots of brats. They were tasty too.  Adam LOVES chocolate milk so he found some Chocolate to wash em all down.   

-Olbrich Botanical Gardens

Beautiful plants and flowers from all over the world.  Plus we got to escape to Thailand. 

-Downtown Madison

Madison was a cool town surrounded by 4 lakes.  It had a great farmer's market, we tasted some delicious homemade ice cream and checked out the State Capitol Building.

-Brewers Game

I need to preface this section a bit by saying that putting on that Brewers shirt I felt like a traitor. I only am wearing it because it was free and since they weren't playing the Red Sox I felt like I could be a fan. So Brewers fan for a night I was! This was Adam's First MLB game. I am pretty sure he is hooked. I see a lot more MLB games in our future. We had a blast. It reminded me of so many warm summer nights at Fenway. Gotta love America's greatest past time.

-Lake Michigan
Wisconsin is beautiful and it was fun to be able to enjoy the the lakes of both Madison and Milwaukee.

-Sprecher Brewery Tour

You can't go to Milwaukee without going on a tour of a brewery. They are famous for their beer and trust me the love their beer.... of course I'm not a drinker so we opted for the Sprecher tour instead of the Miller Beer Tour.  Sprecher not only produces beer but is well-known for their gourmet sodas. We got all the free samples we wanted and it was neat to see how the beer and soda was made.  We made sure to bring home some 'Rootbeer BBQ sauce.'

It was a really great getaway and we now have another mid-west state crossed off the list!
