Saturday morning, after a short night's sleep (it was our own fault), we got up and enjoyed a scrumptious breakfast. The hotel had hot breakfast, and you could make your own waffles. The waffle cooker had an "AmericInn" stamp on it, so when your waffle came out, it had the hotel insignia on it-very cool!
The view from our room. The large white blob on the window is a snowball someone threw from outside!
Miss Charity joined the ranks and we headed to New Glarus-about 20 minutes from Monroe. It is a small, touristy town with Swiss roots.
Street signs
We visited some cute little shops. They were all very quaint.
Snazzy!
These bracelets and keychains were made from braided horsehair
This place had a lot of beautiful handpainted pottery
Lovely..but a little pricey!
It is really a very charming little place. There are painted cow statues all over the town:
After shopping, we went to Culver's - time for a little American culture!
All our order numbers-the restaurant was crazily busy!
After lunch, we did something really girly, and visited the bridal shop.
I was asking the lady that worked there if they had any jackets to go over the gowns, if they did alterations, etc., and she asked me when the big day was. I told her we hadn't planned it yet! :)
Here comes the (future) bride! Dum, Dum, Dum-Dum
I thought this one was pretty!
All in all, it was a very fun, relaxing day, and I thoroughly enjoyed spending non-work time with good friends.
Wrapping things up...as the Swiss say:
:)
