Trippin' Up North

This past week was SPRING BREAK for those that are in school! It was a lovely week of everyone being home, temperatures in the 80s, and a lovely time to relax. It's pretty amazing-- people didn't even have to leave Wisconsin to find warm weather. We had beautiful weather!

Erin and I decided to take a trip up to Pound, Wisconsin, a thriving town of 434 people! Our childhood friend, LeAnna May, invited us to her lovely home. So on Tuesday night, we loaded up the car with our backpacks, pillows, bottles of strawberry fizzy water, Clancy's Party Mix, and trail mix and hit the road. After about 3 hours of driving, seeing a little red fox, and almost running over a bunny, we finally made it to our destination.

We started the next day by going to the local cafe- for a while, we had the place to ourselves.

I decided to get scrambled eggs, wheat toast, and a side of hashbrowns....

The "side" of hashbrowns didn't look so much like a side... haha

After we stuffed ourselves to the brim, we said goodbye to the ol' regulars that had joined us during our time there, and set off to explore the town. We went to Sharky's, a floral shop and greenhouse that LeAnna works for.

So many flowers and plants!

 We stopped in all the cute little shops in Crivitz (the town next to Pound). In 2 different stores, the workers asked if we were playing hookie!! Imagine that... here we are, old married women, and they ask if we're skipping school! Someday I'll probably wish people would think I'm younger than I really am... :-)

The day was much too short-- but it was so nice getting to visit with our dear friend and explore her new homeland. After a ride on the 4-wheeler, and going to a play practice at the school LeAnna teaches at, Erin and I departed.

What nerds.

Of course, a road trip can't be complete without a McDonald's vanilla ice cream cone. (That we thought were supposed to be 49 cents each, but apparently not at this McD's!)
