We have lived in Wisconsin nearly three years now and have yet to have made a family trip up to Green Bay to visit Andy’s brother Mark. So we decided to plan out a little piece of time to go up and spend some quality time with Mark.
Andy’s parents were nice enough to watch the dog for us for the weekend while we drove up for the visit, which was so nice to not have to worry about bringing her along or figuring out what to do with her. We started our visit at Green bay Botanical Gardens which is where Mark works. he is practically a celebrity in Green Bay and you can see he deserves it just by the way the garden looks. it has really become an amazing place. The newest addition is the Hobbit house, which is actually a bathroom facility. How cool is that!
You can see jack on top of the Hobbit house. The back is actually a hill that is climbable. They have a very cute children's garden that has a huge tree house with a slide as well as a stream with big Koi fish in it.
There are a ton of places to climb and discover and watch the local wildlife. We also got a special VIP tour of some of the undeveloped areas.
The next day we spent at Bay Beach riding all the rides and generally having a good time. My favorite was the big slide.
You can just make out Mark and Andy in the second to the last car riding Elvis’s favorite roller coaster The Zippin’ Pippin’.
After wards we had some ice cream and took a short walk down by the Fox river. All in all a great trip, but I am sure Mark was more than ready to see us go.
