Dinner: Prime Quarter, Appleton, WI Review — Tonight we ate at my other favorite Appleton restaurant, the Prime Quarter. As alluded to by Patrick in today’s journal, this is a restaurant like none I have ever seen, whereby you are seated and then told to head up to the deli cases to pick out your [...]

Today we saw a part of the day we don’t normally see, 6:00 a.m. Yes, both Emily and I woke up at 6:00 a.m. For those of you who know Emily, you know there are not many things that will actually get her out of bed at 6:00 a.m. I guess making cards is now [...]
Today was day 1 of the card making extravaganza that converts the Hayes residence into a madhouse of women with stamps and eyelet tools in the quest to make the perfect gift card. This has been a Langlois’ (my mother’s sisters) tradition for a few years now, and how happy am I that they were [...]
Lunch: The Summertime Restaurant, Fish Creek, WI Review — After a few hours of shopping, we were ready to refuel. We had exhausted a few towns’ worth of shops and by lunchtime, were in the town of Fish Creek. And so we decided upon the Summertime, which was centrally located in the shopping district, meaning [...]
I have one word to describe today, and I think many of you have already guessed it: shopping! I thought we saw a lot of useless stuff yesterday; oh, that didn’t even compare to the crap we saw today. (Those of you getting souvenirs from Door County, I didn’t mean that stuff.) As Emily went [...]
Lunch: Fred and Fuzzy’s, Sister Bay, WI Review — We chose this restaurant looking for something close by our Inn, as the 10 AM cheese curds we got from the Tom’s Drive-In were starting to wear off. We were told by the front desk staff that this place was “very casual but right on the [...]
Today we woke up early and prepared for our trip to Door County. We packed our small suitcase, cooler and took the lovely gift basket my sister equipped us with and hit the open road. Door County is about a 2 hour drive from Appleton and is in what we like to call the thumb [...]
Lunch: Ginger Rootz, Appleton, WI Review — Today we had takeout from another Appleton favorite of mine, Ginger Rootz. This is like Appleton’s version of PF Changs, with sort of a modern twist on traditional Asian favorites. It is also pronounced differently than you might expect, with the Wisconsonian accent taking the double o and [...]
Today was one of our more calm days on our road trip. Well, at least the morning was calm. Since my parents are building a house, this is going to be the last visit that we stay in the house I grew up in for most of my middle childhood years. Because of this move, [...]
Breakfast: Loveless Cafe Granola, Appleton, WI Review – I just wanted to take this opportunity to mention the Loveless Cafe again. While I was in the aforementioned gift shop (hi Lele and Joanie! Thanks for the nice e-mail! We did our own little happy dance when we got it!), I picked up a package of [...]
