We left the farm and drove to Minneapolis. We went to Mall Of America. The kids loved the Lego store, the amusement park, and a very tasty and authentic Japanese meal.
Next we drove across Wisconsin and visited the farm where Kyle's family dairy farmed and picked up some cheese at the local dairy. We had lunch with Kyle's grandmother's best friend. Here's Kyle with his curds.
Next we headed to Milwaukee to the Betty Brinn Children's Museum. It was so neat because the children could pretend to do many different jobs. There is a lot of pictures because it was so much fun.
Then I called a bunch of tall buildings to see if anyone would let us go to the top to see the Millwaukee skyline. A very luxurious and old hotel, The Pfister (build in 1896), invited us for a private tour! We loved the marble lion statues, the stately ballrooms, and the crushed blue velvet music lounge at the top! The view was spectacular too:)
Next we went to Chicago and were able to visit Kyle's Aunt Stacey. We met at playground. The sun sets at 4:30 up here so we had to play quick! We went to Nashville and were able to visit with some dear friends. Somehow we didn't get any pics but we have sooooo many pics that I'm sure it's ok.
And then we went to Birmingham and met some other dear friends and again, I forgot to take any pics! We were laughing too much:)
Next we headed to Montgomery. I had a few plans for things to do there but there was a football game and a parade and everything was closed! We found a fun park and we enjoyed ourselves immensely:)
From here it was a (relatively) short drive to Tallahassee where we spent both Kyle and I's birthdays and a
wonderful Thanksgiving with family. It has been SO much fun! The weather has been amazing and we have been outside everyday!
