We spent the weekend at my Grandma Marge's house in Fort Atkinson and I took the opportunity to drive my children around the town I spent part of my growing up years in...Lake Mills. We drove out to Aztalan State Park to see the Indian mounds and forts. I frequented this place as a child during the summer for picnics and exploring as well as during the winter for awesome sledding!!
I drove past a few homes of childhood friends, showed the kids where I attended elementary school & the houses I lived in. I went past the church building where I was the first person to be baptized in the building when it was new. And it wouldn't have been a complete experience if I didn't show them Bartles & Sandy beaches. It was a very windy & stormy day, but we were able to enjoy ourselves.
