Mad Town and Home Again

Aliceapalooza was a hit. Thanks to all of you who showed for the shows.

Madison with my sister was fun.






The capital from State Street






Amazing ice cream.






Then I came home. I have missed sleeping in my bed and just having down time. What will I do when I have to work again? Here is some pics from me fishing last Friday.






























A deer came for dinner the other night.






Divot, my sister's dog is with is this week. He's sweet. My dad pretends not to like him but sure talks to him a lot!






I ran in a 5k on Saturday at midnight. It was a blast and my mom was there to cheer me into the finish line! I also beat my best time.






Me at finish prior to race






Mom and I love being in Eagle River!






This raccoon made me laugh. He was in a window downtown Eagle River.






I made a fabulous pizza for the family on Sunday. It rocked.

Today was good. Helped E with his school stuff, wrote a paper for my class, went for a bike ride, and met up with friends in Wausau for bowling and dinner. I bowled horribly but it was fun.

Great day!

Alicepalooza's Final Stop

We came back to Madison and went to dinner with my seester and niece. I also went on a walk with seester and Divor. It was a very nice day! More adventures tomorrow and now for my next trick, sleep!

Tour Stop: Door County, WI

Little one day road trip with friends Marla and Jeanette. Had a blast exploring Lake Michigan and the beauty that is Wisconsin. Here are some pics:

A reminder for The Fourth of July. Please remember those who gave so much for our freedom. Enjoy some BBQ too. I know I will be later today!

Wrigley Field

Baseball history at its finest:















Coming here was like going to Lambeau the first time. For a sport nut like me, the history and atmosphere of old parks is touching. I did get misty eyed as I thought about all the greats who had played here, the historic ivy, and the thousands of fans who have watched the Cubs play here in the past hundred years! This field is amazing. If you are a baseball fan, you need to get here at least for one game in your live. Amazing.

This trip has been a dream come true. As my uncle Jim put it: "I finally made it to Wrigley!"

Now, off to the next stop on the Aliceapalooza Tour: Door County. But first a whole lot of driving today. Three hours to Appleton. Two to Wausau. And then two to Green Bay. I think I could do without this part of tour!

I LOVE Baseball!!!

I am in Chicago today. It was a blast to go to a White Sox game with my uncle and cousin. So fun! Being at the ballpark on a nice warm summer day is heavenly! We also had a great dinner at a really cool little Italian place. Cousin Vinny owns it and he is a cool guy who chatted with us and gave us free dessert. Nobody says no to free dessert or to Cousin Vinny, right? Awesome day and Wrigley tomorrow. This is probably what heaven is like! :)
