Day 33 – Cheese Curds

JC and Heather's Cheese Shop

We spent the day driving across Wisconsin (aka America’s Dairyland) down to Milwaukee where we are spending the evening. During the drive we saw tons of cheese shops and we stopped at the same one that JC and Heather stopped at on their honeymoon cross-country drive last month. We bought cheese curds (a local favorite) and a nice cheese sampler to take home. Then for lunch we tried fried cheese curds (another local favorite). They tasted very similar to Fried Mozzarella Sticks so no big deal for us. In fact, they could have used some Marinara sauce.

Wisconsin State Capitol

We made a stop in Madison to take a drive through the University of Wisconsin. Not impressed at all, but then neither of us liked them going in. And of course since Madison is also the state capitol, we stopped by to see the capitol. In case you are counting, this was our ninth state capitol. And after seeing so many buildings that were very similar in design, we think some of the states went together to get a discount on a volume purchase. Can you say "cookie cutter?"

Miller Park (Milwaukee, WI)

Did a little of sightseeing in Milwaukee. Not sure what I expected but the city seemed cleaner than what I had pictured. Miller Park looks nice from the outside but the Brewers were on the road tonight. We also took a ride down to look at Lake Michigan.

Most likely this is the last post from the trip. We drive 6.5 hours tomorrow to Milan, OH and 7 hours home the next day.  No sightseeing is planned so nothing to talk about.
