We arrived at Granny and Paul's place in Racine late Saturday night after we took the scenic route through southern Wisconsin. It was a really beautiful drive with all the green rolling hills, black and white dairy cows, and red barns. There were a lot of really neat little towns with tons of character too. Trevor kept saying along the way, "Why didn't we know about this area when we were deciding where to live?!"
We had a nice, relaxing visit with Granny and Paul. We spent a lot of time enjoying the cool (for August!) weather and their beautiful backyard. We slept in, went for some walk/runs, and played lots of cards. That's my kind of vacation!
Some pictures of their backyard...

I spent a lot of time in the hammock reading. I was amazed to find that I needed a blanket in the middle of the afternoon.
One day they took us out to see Lake Michigan and the Wind Point Lighthouse. I loved it out there. I think I could have sat on the beach all day. Here are some pictures of the afternoon...
It was a wonderful, relaxing visit and I'm really glad we got to see Granny and Paul! I was also excited to be able to complete another item on my list! So, to be honest, we did already have this trip planned quite awhile before I made my I started my 101 in 1001, but it was something I'd had on the list in my head for a long time! :)
