SOF - Brat Days

This past weekend for our Summer of Festivals we went to Brat Days in Sheboygan, WI. One of my good friends from HS joined us for the weekend. Unfortunately her significant other couldn't make it but we had a great time with Shannon! Shannon is one of those people who is very easy to talk to and it feels like no time has passed when you get together with her. We met up at the KOA in Fond Du Lac which is by far the best KOA we have ever been to!! It doesn't even compare to the last one. Great for families! We wanted to set up the tents right away because it was about to rain. Shannon and I had an interesting time setting up the one person tent...I just remembered we took a pic of that too I should add it. That tent was the talk of the campground! I don't think people are used to seeing a tent like that at a KOA, it's more for backpacking. We figured the tent out though (thanks to our neighbors).

Then we were off to Brat Days! This seems to be a big event for Sheboygan. There were a few bands there and lots of brat foods. They had regular brats of course, brat tacos, brat burritos, brat pizza, brat nachos, brat eggrolls and even brat stuffed chicken wings! I think out of everything we tried the brat taco was the best.

After Brat Days we went back to the campsite and taught Shannon how to play Ticket to Ride in the tent since it was raining. Her fiance, Jeremy, is really into games like us and Shannon hasn't crossed over yet. So we taught her this game so she could go home to Jeremy and tell him that she learned a new game! Plus it's a fun and easy game to learn. After the rain stopped we enjoyed good conversation and tasty marshmallows around the campfire. Then off to bed.

The next morning we saw Shannon off and then we headed back home. By the way, we LOVE Marquette County in WI!! We drove through a little town called Montello and we loved it! It would be a great place to have a summer cabin because it has a great downtown area, lots of lakes and it's only 30 min to the Dells plus about an hour from Madison. It's 2 1/2 hours from Rochester which is the perfect getaway. We can dream for now. We stopped at this REALLY cute little sandwich shop. The food was delicious and the donut holes are amazing. You need to stop by if you're in the area...it's called the Underwood Market. They supposedly (according to some locals we talked to) have an amazing breakfast too. We will be back!
