Lake Geneva

My buds

I can't believe I haven't told you about this yet! I had the most amazing weekend with friends up in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.  We ate great food, found tons of fun activities, and had a generally relaxing vacation.  I consider myself incredibly lucky to have found these guys my freshman year of college and to still be so close with all of them today.  So here is what we did:

We stayed in this great cottage near downtown and that meant we were able to walk almost everywhere.  We went on a pontoon and walked around the lake.  I got to go for a few good runs while I was up there as well!  In the downtown area, we went to places like Kilwin's and Popeye's.  Kilwin's was perfect for a sweet treat in the middle of the day and Popeye's was our big dinner out that we enjoyed. 

Our other dinner was a homemade BBQ.  We made a great strawberry poppyseed salad and grilled up some hot dogs.  

We also went to a brewery and a winery while we were in town.  Both places were a drive, but totally worth it.  We went to the Gevena Lake Brewery which was super cute and had tastings of everything they had on tap.  Then, we went to Staller Estate for wine tasting and, of course, I bought a bottle to bring home.  I am suddenly super interested in reds.  I'm not sure if I just suddenly grew up or something, but I love red wine!  I am still a white fan, but all the wine tasting I have done over the past few months have showed me that I actually have quite the taste for a good red wine!

It was a great weekend and I can't wait to see what we come up with for next year's reunion!
