Cheeseheads

A visit to Wisconsin is not complete without a cheese overload!

Jelly Belly Factory

Heading north from North Chicago it wasn't long before we were in Wisconsin. What's a trip to Wisconsin without a Jelly Belly factory tour!

Navy Pier

I had been to Chicago a number of times but had never visited the Navy Pier. My niece and nephew really enjoyed it!

Chicago!

I've been traveling for the past week and have not had a chance to post so it will take me a few days to update my blog. Spent a great day in Chicago last Monday and here are a few shots of some of the more interesting buildings I saw on an architectural tour of Chicago via the river.

Happy Birthday Dad!

The big birthday was Wednesday 21 July so am a bit late but we had a fun day and we celebrated Dad's special day in grande fashion! The first picture is my Dad as a boy.

Diving for treasures

Sara and Zeb have become incredible snorkelers and divers. They catch lots of crabs, hermit crabs, jelly fish and conchs. They bring me gorgeous shells from the bottom of the ocean. Needless to say we are all having a great time!

Tent life

One of the summer rituals is camping and what better place to do it than in the woods close to the house where one can bring all ones favorite things! Zebbie and Sara have set up house for the summer!
