the weekend

This weekend was the nicest weekend we have had since the past fall. It reached almost 70 degrees on Saturday away from the lake. Since I'm not from the area, I didn't really know where I should go on such a nice weekend day. Luckily my good friend Kim who is from Grafton showed a group of us around.
First, my friend took us to downtown Cedarburg. I have been there one time before, but it was to see John McCain, so I didn't really see a whole lot except the line to get in. Kim first took us to a park where we could enjoy the sunshine and the nice weather. We walked to Fiddlehead's- her favorite coffee place, and drank some delicious coffee. After that, we walked around downtown Cedarburg and checked out some of the shops. We ate lunch at Sal's pizza, which had delicious garlic knots. Finally, we walked around the old mill and the stores there too.

After we walked around downtown Cedarburg, Kim drove us to the bluffs in Grafton. The view was gorgeous, especially since the sun was shining and the weather was warm. We took some pictures down by the water, skipped stones, and had a good time climbing around on the bluffs.

I was so glad that I bummed around outside. I didn't know that any of these places existed until Kim took us there. Even though I love sleeping in and just relaxing over the weekends, I was so glad to get off campus and be in the real world. It was great to finally go outside without seven layers on too! If you haven't checked out any of these local hangouts, you should- it's a lot of fun!
