Madeline Island 2015: Second Trip Day 1 - July 9th

Thursday, July 9, 2015

Warren and I caravanned up here today. Dale's going to drive home with me on Sunday. Warren needs to leave Saturday. That's why we drove separately.

We stopped for a late lunch at the Riverstreet Family Restaurant in Spooner, WI. We then made a stope at The Dock Coffee which is just next door. We both got lattes but I got a big piece of Oreo crunch fudge. It was quite awesome. I let Warren have a bite. It was the least I could do.

We stopped again in Washburn at the IGA for appetizers for tonight.

We made it onto the Island by 7:30 p.m. Dale wasn't back from work yet so Warren and I headed over to the Beach Club for cocktails. I had a brandy old-fashioned and Warren had bourbon on the rocks.

Dale Joined us for a drink but then we headed home. Dale grilled brats - first time this summer we've had 'em.

Second Visit 2012 - Day 1 Part 1: The Drive Up

Back on the road again, this time with our friends Mike, Charisse, and their daughter Shayla. Stopped for lunch at the River Street Family Restaurant in Spooner, Wisconsin. That was some rib-stickin' good food. Our server had E.S.P and knew that Charisse wanted an Arnie Palmer for a beverage before she could even open her mouth. Now THAT'S good service...
