Spring Break Vacation

We wanted to do something a little extra for spring break this year.  Typically the kids and I just hang around town and see friends.  But this year Daniel took a week of his paternity leave!  We decided to take a mini-vacation and visit Green Bay and Door County.  First we wanted to get at taste of Packer pride so we toured Lambeau Field!

This is the kids checking out the picture of the Packer's locker room.  The room is actually in the shape of a football!

This is the tunnel the players run down to enter the stadium at the beginning of a game!  As we walked down they played a recording of the announcer and crowds cheering over the speakers.  That way we really felt like the Packers do at game time!  At the end of the tunnel are some cement blocks built into the floor--they are from the old stadium's tunnel.  This way all the players step where the Greats did from years before.  This was our favorite part of the tour.


At the field with Charlotte in her wrap.


Here we are with Vince Lombardi.


Next stop National Railroad Museum.  Lots of great old trains!  Loved it.


Charlotte turns 2 months old!  Capturing a few smiles in our hotel room.



The next day we drove to Door County.  We ate lunch at Al Johnson's, a very fun authentic Swedish restaurant.  They even have sod and goats on the roof.  Check out the link!

Since the wind and cold were too much for the hiking we'd planned (You know how babies gasp in the wind?  Charlotte could hardly breathe!) we spent a while at a playground/park along the beach.  Charlotte spent that time sleeping in the car.  It was chilly but beautiful outside!


Our little 2-day vacation ended with a trip to see The Lorax on the way home.  
Eliza said it was the best vacation ever.
