Gibson Island

One of the coolest things I did while I was back in Wisconsin was check out Gibson Island. It’s a tiny island located down the street from where I grew up on the Cloverleaf Lakes. It used to be privately owned so I was never able to go check it out as a kid since it would have been trespassing.

Luckily, the residents of the Cloverleaf Lakes managed to raise over a million dollars through various sources (donations, fundraisers, etc) to purchase the island in order to protect its natural environment and wildlife. It’s amazing to see a group of people take the initiative to make something like this happen.

Lawn Mower Racing At GSR

Last night I went and checked out a sport I didn’t even know existed. What was it? Good ol’ lawn mower racing. A bunch of guys have pimped out their lawn mowers to go a lot faster than normal. It was actually pretty interesting to watch.

Check out this video of one of the races:

As you can see, these things were flying. They don’t cut grass anymore that’s for sure.

I’m sitting at the airport in Chicago right now, tethering off of my phone because they want me to pay 10 bucks to use the wifi here. Ouch. I’m also half asleep, drinking what McDonald’s calls “iced premium coffee.”

Anyways, I’m here waiting for my connecting flight to Green Bay.  I’m heading back there for a bit since it’s been over a year since I’ve been home. Funny thing is, my last post about Wisconsin was titled Done Moving, Now I Am Visiting Wisconsin…

My Trip to Wisconsin (little late)

Wow, It’s Thursday (Pretty Much Friday) Already!

I just realized this week went by so fast, I wasn’t even able to write about my week long trip back to Wisconsin last week. So I thought I would share some of my moments I had while I was on vacation.

Flying in to Green Bay

When I flew in to Green Bay, it amazed me as to how small it was. I remember going there when I was growing up and it was always considered the “city” since it was so …

Done Moving, Now I Am Visiting Wisconsin

This weekend was a long one. My lease at my Phoenix apartment expired after six months so I had to move all of my stuff. Imaging moving all of your crap in a UHAUL when it is like 110 degrees outside.

I am just happy I survived the whole escapade. Anyways, I am not in my new apartment which is still in Phoenix, but in a much better location. No more bums or crazy stories about what happens outside of my apartment.

I am looking forward to being able to …

Heading Home for Christmas

I booked a flight last night to Wisconsin. I decided I wanted to spend a few days with family, especially since I have not seen them since May. I am excited to get home and see snow, HA HA yeah right.

I am only going home through Tuesday since I have to be back to work on Wednesday. I will try and post some pictures with the family and let everyone know how awesome it was to return home.…
