Aislinn's Visit

Holy crap! I can't believe it's May already! Where did April go.....

Oh yea....

April 10th - 13th was Aislinn's visit! We had a great time. It wasn't nearly enough time, but we made the best of it.

After a rough start (Aislinn arriving 2 hours late because of the weather in Chicago) we finally made it back to Madison around 1am. We got up bright and early Friday morning and took the Merrimac Ferry across the Wisconsin River to meet Porsche in Baraboo for breakfast.

It pretty much rained or drizzled the entire weekend...and as you can see from the picture the mornings were a little foggy. We didn't let that dampen our day though. Aislinn had to call home to let everyone know she was on a ferry (she'd never been before).

I was hoping to get to show Aislinn the resort that I used to work at, but the fog was too thick...so oh well!


We had a great breakfast at the Log Cabin in Baraboo (I highly recommend it!) and it was wonderful getting to see and spend time with Porsche.



After breakfast Porsche took us by her new apartment and gave us the grand tour.

We had to cut the visit short so Porsche could get ready for the wedding she was in that weekend. So we headed up to the Dells for a little sightseeing and shopping.
















Next, we headed down to Portage and showed Aislinn all the landmarks from living there for almost 4 years. Then we came full circle and ended up back in Madison for our appointment at David's Bridal. After that we stopped out at the new apartment so Aislinn could see it since she was going to miss the big move.















Then it was off to Target to do some Club Wedd registering :) We ended the day with Dan & Aislinn getting haircuts. We had a quiet evening at home where we ordered pizza and I highlighted Aislinn's hair....I believe strawberry margharitas were involved too!!

Saturday meant pedicures and a trip to Wally-world!! Afterwards we stopped at Adam & Amandas so Aislinn could visit and see the bridesmaids dress in red (since Amanda has hers).








We all had a great time and I was sorry to see Aislinn go, but I know she'll be back in 6 short months!!!!

Glad to know that you guys had a great time. Aislinn talks about it all the time. She had a ball. Wish the weather could have been nicer for you, but you made do.
