A big part of the vacation is of course the journey itself.  After passing through miles and miles of beautiful, lush corn fields (not kidding!) the first stop was the quaint college town of Madison.  More specifically, a great little restaurant/bar called Dotty Dumplings Dowry.

​As is usually the case on our vacations, food plays a big role and we had to visit a breakfast place we heard about called Short Stack.  It did not disappoint - fantastic pancakes! 

Then on to beautiful Lake Geneva

​Then to end the trip, we drove over to Milwaukee for a day of exploring.
