"Midwest Travelin'...Pt.9"

...ROAD TRIP TO the state of WISCONSIN
and to the
Beautiful Geneva Lakes Area!

And relax...ahhhh...we most certainly did...
right there on the shore
sitting comfortably basking in the sun...and sketching!

It was a gorgeous day...
everyone in sight seeming to be enjoying
the last lingering bits of summer.
It was so refreshing to sit by a body of fresh blue water...
cool breezes on our faces...
a pleasant change indeed from our desert home!

We hiked a bit along the lake...mainly near Williams Bay,
then sauntered through the town and shops
of Lake Geneva herself.
We stopped for an informal bite to eat ...simply delicious...
and sat outside
watching all the people either casually strolling by
or
cruising the streets in their vintage cars.

It was a glorious day...we took lots of pictures...

Of beautiful vintage lamps... and homes... and shops...

...Staying until almost dark.
After stopping at the Yerkes Observatory on Williams Bay at sunset
for a quick peek at its fantastic architecture
we made the star lit journey back to Illinois.
It would be just a few quick short days remaining
before we would head back to Arizona.
