Spent last night with Gail and John. Thanks for your hospitality Sis. This morning we headed out to Hartford to have breakfast with Sue and Randy. Then spent the day touring the Kettle Moraine area. For those of you who don't know, this area of Wisconsin is hilly in comparison to other areas. The Moraine areais the result of the Green Bay Glacier gouging and moving earth, then depositing debris in the area during the ice age. Finally, that college geography paid off. Oh, and the kettles, or holes, are caused by melted glacial ice (and that's a thanks to Wikipedia). Anyway, the area is beautiful, and should be even more beautiful in the next few weeks when the fall colors are in full swing.
We also stopped at Holy Hill, a catholic shrine dedicated to the virgin Mary.
It's the highest point in Southeast Wisconsin. Unfortunately there was a large renovation project underway that prevented us from climbing the towers.
But we did get to see the church and walk around the grounds. I grew up in this area and have never been to this spot before. When we first saw the spires of the church in the distance,
it reminded me of the castles in Europe...and to think it was in my own back door.
We also drove past a number of the small glacial lakes in the area. I could see renting one of these some summer, praying for good weather and having a great family time. Dreams.
