I want to wish a very happy birthday to my cousin-in-law, Christina.  Aside from being a teacher, she and I also share a love for all things Bucky Badger and UW.  It's like we are kindred spirits ( who love to enjoy the spirits :) ) Beach bummin' this summer!

When this time rolls around next week, Brian and I will have made our way to Turkey via Chicago and Amsterdam.  I cannot believe we've hit the 'less than a week' mark....we are so, so excited.

We spent some time exploring downtown a bit; this included visiting an old-time candy store and sampling some really awful lavender candy (Thanks, Mike!)  before heading to BW3's to take in a few games and drinks and mentally prepare for the B1G 10 Championship ...
