We spent the weekend in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. It was our first time in this much talked about Chicago get-away destination and we thought it totally lived up to the hype. Pure relaxation, kind people, beautiful lakes and lake homes, quaint shops and crisp fall weather. Dave and Molly B joined us on Saturday and we were so happy for the time with them! We enjoyed our stay at the Lake Lawn Resort on Delavan Lake just outside of Lake Geneva. We swam, drank wine overlooking the lake, took bubble baths, ran the long winding hallways and roasted smores in a campfire.
The reason for our trip was that Andrew ran the North Face Endurance half marathon in Kettle Moraine State Park in Eagle, WI. Due to the weather, the early time, the length of the race and the remote location, the kids and I did not go to the race. We did cheer him on from the comforts of our hotel room where both kids slept in past 9. The terrain was treacherous and extremely hilly with a total elevation of 1100, muddy from storms, and required a high level of training, which Andrew clearly has no time for. Impressively, he not only managed a personal best of just under 1:45, but he finished 20th out of 289 participants. Congratulations Buds!!!
Thanks again for coming Dave and Mols. We had the best time with you and can't wait to do it again!

I love the Hamm girls shot :)
Way to go, Andrew!
Great snaps. We need to do that again... it's a perfect halfway point between Chicago and Madison. It an easy day trip for us.
