Make it Quick

I couldn't wait for this day to come, but it came and went! My brother Daniel and my Dad came into town for some quick fun and travel.  They were only here for a few days so we made good use of our time.
THURSDAY
Milwaukee
We quickly visited Dane's school, ate a burger at Sobelmans, hit the spirit shop, and the lake
 Lake Michigan 
It was inevitable

Port Washington
After that just hung out at home and ate some homemade pumpkin pie!

FRIDAY
Started our trek to Illinois
First stop Jelly Beans and Outlet shopping without children!! Oh how sweet it is.
Jelly Belly
of course we had to try the rotten flavors.
I was assigned skunk spray, earwax, and centipede
Daniel tried soap, stinky socks, and barf?
haha, poor memory
Dad tried canned dog food, rotten eggs, moldy cheese
(i think ;)
Chicago!

Finished touring campus visiting the church and Spirit shop

For those who were going to come and didn't make it

Slowly getting colder and colder
Coldest game in history of Notre Dame
Windchill made it 7 degrees and dropping
Had to leave early
*Boys couldn't hack it!*
I had the greatest time!
SOOO much fun!
Memories to always cherish
