After the girls left on Friday, John and I had a nice, relaxing weekend which included a 21 mile bike ride and celebrating our 37th anniversary.
We took the Lake Country Trail.
We start the trail in Oconomowoc at the Imagination Station Park.
The trail is completely paved and you can go off and explore areas of Oconomowoc, Summit, and Delafield as you travel along.
We arrived in Delafield which is just about nine miles from where we started.
Delafield is such a cute little town with lots of shops and restaurants.
We opted for a snack at a gas station because we knew we would be eating a big meal that night for our anniversary.
Cushing Park is located right off the trail in Delafield.
We always like to stop there to use the bathroom.
We came upon this mama turtle who was laying her eggs right on the path to the bathrooms.
Not so sure that is the best place to lay eggs, but what do I know.
We made our way back into Oconomowoc and then took a tour around the lakes there.
Just in case anyone reading would be interested in this trail, it is flat with just one small hill, completely paved as I said before and there are many places to stop along the way for treats and a bathroom.
A small portion of the trail is on a quiet road, but traffic moves slowly there and it is not a problem.
We did stop at Culver's for a sundae to reward ourselves for a ride well done.
Later that day, we went to Fox and Hounds for our anniversary dinner.
I had gotten a gift card from two of my students and there is always a deal, buy one dinner, get the second one for free.
Fox and Hounds is located in a beautiful setting surrounded by woods.
We enjoyed these drinks before dinner our dinner of prime rib, duck breast, and tenderloin. It was all so yummy.
We treated ourselves to dessert, too.
After dinner we went into their downstairs pub and had a few beers while listening to a band.
It was a great night and a wonderful way to celebrate 37 years together.
On Sunday, Father's Day, John visited his dad at the care center and I put up new decorations for my dad at the cemetery.
As a side note, John had his shirt on inside out during our drink time and dinner at Fox and Hounds. He finally noticed and fixed it in the bathroom. We laughed about that one!
