The Milwaukee Minis club gathered at the Milwaukee lakefront for the custard and hamburgers of Northpoint Custard. The evening was wonderful with just the right weather, a wonderful setting sun over Lake Michigan and great company. Northpoint has mouth-watering burgers and delicious custard with a variety of toppings to round off a meal. View photos…

It’s been a long time. Too long. Due to schedules, a computer going kerplunk, and general life, these adventures are long over due.

Our first adventure is a quick weekend visit through Illinois to pick up some Snoopy stuff from a very hospitable friend. Along the way, I stopped in Atlanta, Illinois to stretch the legs, see the odd sights and lose myself in a unforgettable strawberry milkshake at the Palms Grill Cafe.

After the long drive, my host let me refuel at local St. Louis favorite: Ted Drewes. For some odd reason, I was craving a brownie sundae over the traditional concrete. Now I have the perfect excuse to go back! Not that I really needed one with custard that delicious.

On the way back north, I stopped to see a few more oddities including the world’s largest catsup bottle.

Our second adventure led us to Leduc’s in Wales, Wisconsin, for an ice cream social with the Milwaukee Minis. Leduc’s has hamburgers so good, one MINI owner drove all the way from California for one! Also attending was my very own dog, Tosh, the nervous passenger. She was not too thrilled with those bumpy roads.

It’s been a busy fall and I’ve finally gotten the last two adventure photos up… now that it’s snowing. Enjoy our final event of the season with the Milwaukee Minis at Kopp’s in Glendale. Also, the crew visited the North Lake Inn for pizza, cheesy garlic bread and Sprecher’s root beer with free refills. The cheesy garlic bread is not my favorite kind, but it was accompanied by garlic salt which was nice. The pizza was delicious and the root beer fantastic.
