4th of July Midwest style
My brother Chris returned from his Europe jaunt, full stories, and we decided it was high time to visit our other sibling in Wisconsin and his baby, who is 9 months old and absolutely beautiful. So we spent Fourth of July in the Midwest, first in Milwaukee, where we saw our gorgeous nephew, A.
He's the first grandchild on both sides of the family and is universally adored! We toured a brewery (which you've gotta do in Milwaukee), stopped by a cheese shop (cheese curds!) and enjoyed frozen custard (awesome!). Where can I get frozen custard in New York? Anyone know?
Then we drove to Michigan, where we visited our grandparents and attended my friend M's wedding celebration. Her celebration, which doubled as a 30th birthday party for both the bride and the groom, was at a park on the most beautiful day imaginable. She had a yellow and white striped tent and served delicious barbecue where guest brought sides dishes. As befits a guest just in from Wisconsin, I contributed the smelly cheese platter. After the barbecue, there was rugby, frisbee activity and swimming. How many brides can say they went for a swim at their own wedding? So cool! That's just the kind of bride she is!
