A Wonderful Weekend

 Downtown Ripon from their website ~ not my picture

My daughter and her hubby came to visit. They got here about mid-day Friday. They fell in love with Ripon's lovely downtown. The gorgeous architecture, the lights, the shops, all of it!

  On Saturday we took them to Green Lake and stopped by the Conservancy for a short walk. Then we headed to Princeton to the antique stores. After that we went to Montello, took some pictures by the old quarry (now a lake) and went downtown for a while. Then we went back to Ripon for dinner and then spent some time playing pool. I never learned, but I tried. My daughter beat her hubby and my hubby. She beat them four times. It was a glorious day, sunny and in the 70's!  Sunday it turned cold and windy. We sat around and talked because they had to leave early. We had an absolutely wonderful time!
