greshem wisconsin

from the outset of my trip planning, long before i left philly, one of my main destinations was greshem wisconsin.   that's where my dear friends karl and allison live.   we all got to know each other in new jersey over a decade ago, and share lots of good memories.   karl and allison got married in her home state of oregon in 2000.  flying to their wedding was the first time i was ever west of the mississippi river!  visiting them and their four kids on this particular trip was my first time ever in the state of wisconsin!

here's their house.

i stayed for almost a week.  it was the first time i'd stayed with one family for more than a couple of days since being in florida, and would probably be the last time for my trip.  in that time i got to play with them and their four great kids: brooke hope kara and peter, catch up on life, see their church where karl preaches, and so much more.

during my stay i also caught up on my blogging and did some more trip planning.  

my next post (if i find internet again soon) will tell about some of the fun i had with them.
