Vacationing in Lake Geneva, WI

Jeff and I had some time share certificates getting ready to expire so we met the Bobak's in Lake Geneva (the self-proclaimed Hamptons of the Midwest) to stay in a resort. Lake Geneva is a very cute little lakeside town between Milwaukee and Chicago. On Saturday, we went into Milwaukee to see a baseball game in Miller Park, which is regularly rated one of the top ten baseball stadiums in the country. Before the game, we went to the Milwaukee Public Museum which was fun but a little disappointing because it wasn't interactive. I really enjoy interactive science museums, probably due to my fond childhood memories of the yearly girl scout outings to COSI in Columbus where we spent the night camping at the museum next to the cracker jack prize exhibit and learning about science. Anyway, the most fun part of the Public Museum was the butterfly exhibit where the had hundreds of different kinds of butterflies in a conservatory. Devon didn't like it much as he has a fear of insects and the thought of a butterfly landing on him was scary. I shouldn't admit I found his fear of butterflies rather amusing.

The stadium was really nice. Its built away from the city so the parking lots are close to the ballpark and the fans all tailgate before the game which looked like fun, lots of cornhole being played. We however got our junk food inside while we watched the game: brats, hot dogs, warm sugared almonds, peanuts, beer, cotton candy. Jeff and I go to so few baseball games these days that we aren't very good at restraining ourselves but the stomach ache is always worth it.

We spent the rest of our time relaxing, hanging out, and playing uno and sorry and euchre. The resort had a playground, which Devon dominated (in his own words) and an indoor water park. I've posted some pictures in the blog but you can see the rest of them at www.flickr.com/photos/jeff-and-adrienne. All in all, it was a relaxing getaway.
