A place where giant cows stand by the side of the road. Where every menu features bratwurst. (There’s a lot of corn, too.) Yes, I’ve been in Wisconsin for my family’s biannual reunion in Elkhart Lake. My father’s family has been going there in the summers for close to a hundred years. This year, an 18-month old attendee was the first member of the sixth generation to carry on the tradition.
Before we went to Wisconsin, we spent a day in visiting Chicago, which looked like this:
That’s actually the bean sculpture in Millennium Park downtown.
We spent a few hours in the world-famous Art Institute, where the art left the girls largely unmoved. My personal favorite was this Troll Nativity (not its actual name.)

Wisconsin was TOTALLY my guess without even scrolling past the cow! The trolls are slightly disturbing…

I happen to like cows, and can feel the green! It is hot and dry here. Why the trolls, no one ever looked like that did they?
