Weekend Fun

This weekend we took a trip up to Milwaukee to visit our friends Anne and Brian and see their new baby, Ellie. The Phillies happened to be playing the Brewers this weekend, so we got to finally wear some of our Phillies gear (my shirt was from Tom's sister Lisa after the Phillies won the World Series and Tom's jersey was a groomsmen gift from his friend Jay's wedding).

We snapped a few pics with the sausages on the way to our seats. We were a little late to the game but (thankfully) didn't miss the sausage races in the 6th inning!! Chorizo won. They're all lined up and ready to go!

The Phillies took it into extra innings but thankfully pulled it off (I don't know if we could have handled another loss after the shame and embarrassment that Penn State put on us earlier in the day).

We had a really good time visiting with everyone. On the way home we finally stopped at the Mars Cheese Castle. We've driven past it the past few times we went up to Milwaukee and kept saying how we wanted to stop, but we always had Bailey with us. We figured she would be fine in the car after her busy day of playing with Bentley, so we ran in real quick for some cheese and other goodies. This place was so awesome that we decided we have to come back and stock up on a few items for the Penn State vs. Northwestern game next month!

Jess - The old "store" is right in front of the new castle...they didn't even tear it down. We plan on going back before the PSU v. Northwestern game next month so I'll keep you posted if you want to ride along!! Can't wait to hear about Hawaii!
