Northpoint Custard Stand

On Sunday we continued our scenic drive along Lake Michigan. This time heading South instead of North. We stopped at a few lakeside parks, then headed down through Mequon to admire all the beautiful homes and gardens. Eventually we found ourselves near Bradford beach in Milwaukee. By then Layla and I were getting hungry. So we stopped at the Northpoint Custard stand. We ate sandwiches and split a chocolate milkshake while we listened to the waves crash onto shore. There's really no better way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Wouldn't you agree?

Cedarburg Strawberry Festival

The whole family went to the Strawberry festival in Cedarburg on Saturday. It was our first time going. Mike was in the hospital last week because of his Crohns. So he just wanted to take a relaxing drive along Lake Michigan this weekend. The Strawberry Festival just happened to be on the way.
We didn't eat much while we were there. Partly because it was so hot, but mostly because Mike is on a liquid diet and I feel a little guilty enjoying great food while he is starving. We did try some great drinks though. My favorite was this Almond tea from From Scratch catering. At first, I was unsure how almond extract would taste in tea. Then I overhead a woman nearby exclaiming how good they are. So I got one for myself asap. It was so refreshing! The balance of almond flavor and fruity tea was the perfect thing to keep me hydrated while walking through the crowds.
Did you go to the Cedarburg Strawberry festival this year? What was the best thing you tried?

Sloppy Joes Saloon and Spoon

For Father's day Mike and I took our dads to Sloppy Joes Saloon and Spoon in Hubertus. On Saturdays their specials are steak and ribs. It was great. You better go there Asap if you're a meat eater.
Sloppy Joes a nice biker bar with a cozy patio perfect for lingering over drinks with friends. The beef tenderloin was melt in mouth phenomenal. Mike said it's the best he's ever had. The ribs taste as great as they look too. They also have lighter options like sandwiches and wraps on their menu, if you don't feel like gorging on meat. Either way, you'll be stuffed by the time you leave.
P.s. If you actually have room to try dessert, please let me know how the bread pudding is!
