Busy fall days continue.....since I last blogged, I went to Wisconsin with Kathy and Claire for 3 days of fun "girl-time" shopping, eating, etc.....Started our trip with a stop in Racine where we met Claire's twin grandsons, 4-month old Paul and Alex! They are such sweet babies (Emily and Philip went all thru grade/high school together). We had a fun visit with cuddles and delicious lunch and then we girls were
off to Cedarburg.

We stayed at the Washington House Inn (charming old inn that was established in 1846). We had dinner at Morton's (a neat tavern just behind our inn that was in a quaint neighborhood). Started off Wednesday with a yummy breakfast and then hit the shops - several cute gift/home decor places and at least 3 coffee cafes. We left mid afternoon in the rain and cold.....ugly trip thru Milwaukee and onto Racine where we shopped at Milaeger's, O-H Bakery and Borzynsky's. Then to the Radisson in Kenosha and felt so good to be warm and cozy and out of the elements! Had a nice dinner at The Chancery.
Thursday was chilly, but no rain - we hit the outlet mall across the street from hotel and by 1:30 we were on our way home....
