last chance adventures.

Twenty-thirteen sure did deliver last year! We got to do so many great things with so many wonderful people that we love. And in a place that we have grown to love a ton. It was just so awesome. We're sad to leave this fun little place but before the tears flow we still have five more months to go on all sorts of adventures! Here are some of our want-to-do's before we pack up and head back west...

1. participate in Death by Chocolate IX.
2. go camping in Door County.
3. romantically eat some Italian food at Sole Sapori.
4. find out what the heck is up with Spring Garden... and sit outside whilst doing it.
5. attend the Chicago temple at least six five four three two one more times. 
6. make a quilt with the Happy-Bee-Quilting lady.
7. get out on the waters of Wisconsin. (Duck Dash!)
8. get a bag of Dr. Pepper belly flops at the Jelly Belly factory south of Milwaukee.
9. Visit the Henry Vilas Zoo again.
10. buy (try) some awesome cheese at the Dane County farmer's market.
11. finally go to Wednesday Night Live at Grundahl Park. Still kicking myself for not taking advantage of this the last two summers.
12. watch the Giants play the White Sox in June.
13. spend a Saturday at Governor Dodge.

Other non-Midwest specific adventures that spark my interest include the following...

1. eat a tostada to calm my nerves. (carne asada)
2. have an applesauce making/canning party with the mommas.
3. get lost in a corn maze.
4. check out the fall leaves via horseback.
5. move back to Utah for school.
6. visit Todd's extended family in California.
7. pay a visit to the Art City donut truck.
8. hike Buffalo Peak.

Did I miss anything?? Ya know... that one thing that you've done out here in the Midwest that you thought was so much fun that you just keep going back again and again. Yes, that thing. We want to know what it is so we too can join you in the fun before we peace out.
