Yesterday was our 7th year anniversary. I can’t believe how lucky I am to be married to such an amazing guy. We did dinner at Bravo last night, but our real celebration will be this weekend.
Every year we go to a different state for our “anniversary vacation.” Since our anniversary is June 29th, we usually end up going away on the July 4th weekend. It’s neat because we’ve seen fireworks in a lot of different places. The goal is to make our way through all 50 states by our 50th.
Wisconsin is this year’s state. We are heading out Thursday. There’s a music festival called Summerfest going on in Milwaukee, so we’ll stay in downtown Milwaukee and go to some shows on Thursday night and Friday day. Guster is playing Thursday night so we are going to make sure to see them.
Then Friday-Sunday we’ll head down to Madison. We’ll do the fireworks there, visit the campus and lake that we hear are beautiful, and try to visit some Frank Lloyd Wright stuff. His museum is walking distance from our hotel and I think some of his homes are nearby too.
I’ve only been to WI once, and it was to visit family in the Green Bay area when I was a lot younger. I don’t remember anything. If you know of any “must-sees” in Milwaukee or Madison, let me know!
P.S. I just read over this and had to laugh. We go away on the 4th, watch the fireworks, and are traveling to all 50 states. It makes us sound so patriotic! Don’t get me wrong, we like America and all, but patriotism is not the reason behind it. We just like to travel and the weekend of the 4th gives us an extra day off work.
