Short Wisconsin Visit

It's finally starting to feel like summer! Strawberry picking came a little early in NH but they were quite delicious. We picked 10.6 pounds in one morning! 
 
It's also been great hiking weather, too. 

Our friends hosted a summer solstice party and the wildflowers at his house were vibrant. 


And for Father's Day, we headed to the coast for fried seafood and to check out the annual Hampton Beach sand sculptures. 


And finally, a brief trip to Wisconsin! 

The weather and travel conditions cooperated very well for me (thank you universe) and I got to spend lots of quality time in old and new favorite places. 



Perch of course 

Mom and I went to visit the Green Bay Botanical Gardens 



Friday night was the Ripon College Alumni Association 1851 Dinner! It was so, so fun to see so many familiar wonderful people and the young alumni award was the cherry on top. 


My friends and I stayed in the dorms for a few nights and had a great time exploring Ripon.



Saturday morning humid, rainy 5k around town! 


We went to the (relatively new) Vines and Rushes Winery just outside of town and had wine slushies and great wood-fired pizza for lunch. It was super rainy that afternoon so it was the perfect spot to hang out. 



Afterwards we visited lots of cute shops in downtown Ripon and I met this cute little puppy, Belle, who helped herself to my glass of water. 

The prettiest shops on Watson Street. 


New matching sunglasses. 

Our actual 10 year reunion party at Knuth Brewing 


S'mores and dance parties under the tent 


And finally, saying goodbye on Sunday morning.

Until next time, Davey and Wisconsin!
