Scoop deVille + Fall Foliage Drive & Poker Run 2012

The Milwaukee Minis ventured north this month to gather at Scoop deVille in Hartford. For dinner, it was hot dogs all around, followed by homemade Ice Cream. The ice cream parlor also has old-fashioned fountain sodas, candy, roasted nuts and chocolates wrapped up in a 1950's themed diner. You'll know you're near it when you

If you don't like hot dogs, you'll just have Adrian's custard for dinner. I had a delicious rocky road sundae for dessert. Thank goodness I only had one hot dog!

Joey Buona’s Pizza + Spring Drive + Kopp’s Custard

Triple adventure fun! No, not all on the same day, but time certainly got away from me on these. Let's begin... Thriftiness once again leads us to a new experience for pizza at Joey Buona's in downtown Milwaukee. It's been forever so I don't quite remember the details. What does stand out was the excellence
