Road Trip-Fall 2015 Wisconsin Week One

Wisconsin and the Fall season. A match certainly made in heaven. The air is a bit crisp and there is a snap in everyone's step. Wisconsin week one was full of family and fun. My week started in Sheboygan at my cousin's home. We did everything from hiking to art galleries to shopping. It was a great way to start my Wisconsin adventure. 

Observing life that is at a slower, more connected pace has been a highlight of the first week. Connections face to face through family gatherings and community events is the cornerstone of rural life. As I was driving down a country road early in the morning I noticed a lady out for her morning walk. In her hand was a Rosary. Her daily walk started her day in a more meaningful way for her. Freshly washed clothes hanging on a clothesline evokes peaceful, comforting thoughts. A bike ride down a wooded path with leaves falling is a perfect way to spend an afternoon. Fall and Wisonsin-definitely a match made in heaven.

Oktoberfest in Dheinsville, Wisconsin! Yep, Dheinsville! Several cousins' families met for a reunion which included polka music and German beer! 






We met more Dheins who we invited to join our family photo! Crazy! 

On a pretty, fall Sunday afternoon my brother, two friends and I rode recumbent bikes to a Green Bay brewery. Perfect weather, great company and good brew made for an excellent day! 
















First week in Wisconsin - family, friends and fun all with the fall season as a beautiful back drop.
My next post will highlight a Packer game! The Lambeau experience!
