Eccentricities of a Wisconsin gal living in Jersey
Beer, festivals, and more beer, oh my! As much as I enjoy my snowy Wisconsin winters, summertime in Milwaukee just can't be beat. I took a quick trip home last weekend to see family and friends, sip some new brews, and of course, take in as much of what the city has to offer as... Continue Reading →
Milwaukee ain't called Brew City for nothing. Despite growing up in Milwaukee, I haven't always been a beer drinker (what can I say - it's an acquired taste, even for this gal).

Between being in Wisconsin two weeks ago and New York... Continue Reading →
Remember that time I drove from Princeton to Milwaukee over Labor Day weekend to surprise my parents? True story. Last month (better late than never with blogging, right?), a co-worker and I set out on a spontaneous, epic—and lengthy—journey to the Midwest, with stops in Streetsboro (Ohio...just for the night...thankfully), Kalamazoo, Chicago (where I dropped her off), and...
