Wisconsin in Scotland

Wisconsin in Scotland is where the Bear got the travel bug. I never thought that living in Scotland would change me as much as it did.

Fall of 2004

Nick got his first real six string
Bought it in Edinburgh

Played it till his fingers bled

It was fall 2004

Ping Pong down in the basement

Justin, Tony, and Jake

The moved fast paddles were flying

Forest Gump woulda took 2nd place

Oh when I look back now

That fall seemed to last forever

And if I had the choice

Ya-I'd always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'

When you got dinner duty

Spent my evenins' down at Mayson's

And thats where I met Fritz- ya

Standin' on the Duke's porch

I looked at the box with confusion

Turned out they had changed the code

So I started banging on the door

Those were the best days of my life

Back in the fall of 2004

Me and Tim and Ryan

Went into Mary's flat for some wine

Power hour with cider

We shoulda know that it'd never end well

Back in the fall of 2004

Henry has a five alarm chili

Sausage rolls and Thursday sandwich bars

And God we loved our hot chocolate

So much that we broke the machine

And if the Duke only knew

About our drunken nature walks

Flip Flops gone along with the flashlight

Making out by the light of the moon

Those were the best days of my life

Back in the fall of 2004

Man we were killin time

We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothing can last forever

And now that things are changing

Look at everything that we've done

MacBackpackers, Edinbrugh Castle

Three sisters and the Tron

Standin in Edinbrugh

Waiting for that God Dam taxi

15 sure is a lot

Cause this Fuckin exchange rate sucks

Those were the best days of my life

Back in the fall of 2004

One of the readings from our wedding

I want you to get swept away. I want you to levitate. I want you to sing with rapture and dance like a dervish. Be deliriously happy. Or at least leave yourself open to be.Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. I say fall head over heels. Find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love -- well, you haven't lived a life at all.You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.

Wisconsin Dells

For the past two summers the husband and I have traveled to Wisconsin dells, a mere 3 hour drive from our house. We left after I got done with work on Monday, traffic wasn't to bad going down to the dells. it was around 8:30pm when we rolled into town, we checked into the Flamingo hotel, put the bags in our room and headed off to the Pizza Pub for dinner. I decided to take on the Monster Margarita, needless to say the Monster conquered me. i left the pub a little tipsy I was thankful that I had the husband to guide me back to our room. Once back at the hotel my drunken little self fell a sleep while the husband read next to me.
I am an early riser and the husband loves to sleep in, so i tip toed around the room and got myself ready for our day. Woke the husband up and he woke up to the news that Brett farve was playing for the vikings what an up roar that was, took me a while to pull him away from ESPN and get him in the shower. We walked to Pizza ranch for lunch and after Lunch we headed to Noah's Ark Americas Largest Water park. For dinner we ate at the Moose Jaw Pub and Pizza Company and went back to our hotel for a little bit before heading out to the drive in. It was a great day.
I have a thing for all things mini golf and the dells is a mini golfers paradise. So after breakfast at Mr Pancake we headed over to the mini golf course. Once we had finished our game we went back to Noah's Ark for some more water slide fun. some where along the way i managed to bruise my tail bone. The air was getting cooler and I was sleepy so we changed into dry clothes headed to the pizza ranch for dinner and left for home. I love vacationing with the husband
