We traveled over to the Mid West for an Ippolite family reunion over a long weekend.
Page continued her love affair with German sports cars.
If you think about Wisconsin, you think about cheese. And if you think about Wisconsin and cheese, you think about cheese curds. And the best cheese curds are at the Mars Cheese Castle! Squeak Squeak!
The reunion itself was over two days at cousin Kim’s house in Winnetka on Chicago’s North Shore.
For our enjoyment they had basketball, hockey, baseball, and a Bocce court in the backyard. Alex, of course, is a future pro Bocce player, as once again she killed all-comers in a sport that she had never played before.
To give us the energy for all those sports, on Sunday we were all treated to hand-rolled Porchetta as well as tonnes of other yummies from the kitchen. All washed down with plenty of craft beer, wine and aperitifs.
Kim’s house is not far from the beaches of Lake Michigan. At the beach, the California girl forgot her place, got naked and offended the sensibilities of Amerika’s moral heartland.
