You Can Tell It's Summer in Wisconsin

(Sheboygan, Wisconsin - Lake Michigan shoreline, this and all photos in this post by me)

We decided to get a way this weekend to visit the cities of Sheboygan and Manitowoc along the shore of Lake Michigan in Wisconsin. On our way there, I started noticing a trend...

As we pulled into the tiny little town of Dundee, I first noticed the ice cream cone on the right of the sign for the hamburger stand we stopped at....

A half hour or so later outside of Plymouth, Wisconsin this sign on the side of a barn caught my eye..

Then, in Two Rivers, Wisconsin this historical marker...(we went searching for 1404 15th street where the first sundae supposedly happened, but it's now a parking lot).

And finally, on our way home today, this old International Harvester truck with a graphic of yet another sundae outside, you guessed it, a homemade ice cream parlor in Chilton, Wisconsin.

As a native of Wisconsin, a.k.a. America's Dairyland, it's not surprising to see all of these things. But, dang it, I'm trying to lose some pounds here! It was tempting the entire trip to find the perfect ice cream sundae, but I was good - no thanks to my fellow Cheeseheads! :)

How is your Monday?

Good for you, Sarie. I admire your self-discipline. I've been very naughty lately, eating too many snacks and such.

Thanks for sharing the photos. It looks like you made some fun and interesting stops along the way. You guys know how to travel and enjoy every minute of your trip. Lon won't stop unless his life depends on it.

Lon's home so I've gotta go. I'll catch you later.

Clelia,
Thank you for the nice comment Clelia! I do take pictures for a living, yes but I love taking them just for fun more, heehee. I have noticed that England is not having real summer weather. We had a week of it, now we're back to 60s and clouds for a few days. Wierd. Thank you for visiting!

Bhavesh,
Well you should have been on our trip with us! It was everywhere! And the crazy flavors I saw...jalapeno berry? Ice Cream? Wow....

Thanks for stopping by my dear! I'm heading back over to your blog to have another look at that gorgeous photo you have posted today. I love it!

I love this set of pictures, what an interesting place. You sure have a good eye for a photo. The old sign at the side of the barn is terrific.
