⚾️ Last week, we enjoyed an exciting overnight trip to Milwaukee packed with sights, sports, and new adventures. We cheered on the Cubs as they took on the Brewers, explored the Harley‑Davidson Museum, and sampled plenty of great restaurants and ice cream shops. With the Cubs bringing home a win, it was the perfect blend of excitement, discovery, and time spent together!
