Dairyland!

Yes. We landed in Milwaukee, where we saw my judgmental and wise sister Jen and her swimming sensation daughter, Sophie. Ida threw up on their floor.

The next day we got to Door County and immediately Ella had us checking things off the List.  We hadn't arrived at the Compound for twenty minutes before we turned around and went cherry picking.  Ella made a phenomenal pie and some outstanding jam.
