when katie and fabio left north carolina in the spring, we said, "hopefully we can visit someday!"
that someday came fast. and i have to say, i was impressed with wisconsin. so much beauty in the rolling hills, crops as far as the eye can see, and the gaertners' gorgeous home.
we spent a sun-dappled evening at the university of wisconsin eating brats by the lake, visiting fabio's office, wandering campus, and finishing with farm-fresh ice cream for all. sage and nora quickly remembered jon and ben, and loved playing on their swing set outside. we adore this family! it seems like a lifetime ago when katie and i took our toddlers on a trip to malaysia together–our exotic trips have been replaced by costco trips. i'm so glad we got to see a slice of their wisconsin life.
On Wisconsin! We absolutely loved having you guys. Thank you, thank you for fitting us into your itinerary!
