Caroline and Jay came to visit and for a long weekend before Thanksgiving and I'm just now posting pictures of their trip. We loved having them in town!
We went for a hike in Devil's Lake State Park (the snow was a short-lived phenomenon, and didn't stick for long). Sylvie came along and was a champ, riding along on my back. We talked about our work, about kids, about relationships, about people we know, and about how we'd like to live in a commune, or a co-housing unit, so we get to be close to each other forever.
On Friday night, we went to a fish fry at Toby's Supper Club, and enjoyed some surprisingly frou frou drinks, including a key lime pie martini that was delish. The scene was very Wisconsin and the fish was tasty!
On Saturday night, we went to a dark little cozy bar and then on to Essenhaus, a big German polka and beerhaus. Note the steins hanging from the wall behind Jay, as he drinks from the glass boot.
Caroline and Jay showed off their polka moves on the dance floor.
Emily spent time as a waitress at Essenhaus at age 19!!!
