Milwaukee Trip!

I'm so so so so so sorry It's been so long! Life has been so full of surprises and I haven't been able to get to a computer! Luckily, I'm at one right now and I'm able to post about my Milwaukee trip I've recently taken!

WARNING: THIS POST HAS LOTS OF PHOTOS!

 I was so excited for this trip because even though my boyfriend's parents were present it was the first trip where I went without the school or my parents. My boyfriend and I rarely even saw his parents on this trip so it really gave us a sense of independence and responsibility.

These two photos are the beautiful view we had from the hotel ceiling.

 Now aside from sight seeing we were there on somewhat of a mission. We had traveled there with our local Germania Society to attend German Fest! So we got to experience plenty of culture and My boyfriend Johnny got to be in the parade! 

While he walked around separately, his mom and I enjoyed walking around and shopping in which I was lucky enough to meet my favorite German dirndl designer Erika Neumayer! On top of that, a sweater of her's that I've been eyeballing for about a year she had on sale that day so that was a very thrilling shopping experience.

I was so excited during the parade because I'm a HUGE nut about Volkswagen Beetle's and I'm dying to get my hands on a 1971 Super Beetle convertible in red and I'm sure you can guess what they had in the parade! The passangers were more than happy to stop and wave as I snapped a picture!

Since Johnny has attended the festival every year for many years now, so he wasn't hesitate to show me his favorite hang outs. My favorite about his little tour was eating the buffalo chicken egg-roll's from AJ Bombers! This whole trip was such a wonderful experience! To end the post I think I'll just put a couple hundred photos of Johnny and  I walking around the city!

And you know I've gotta add the selfie with my new sweater at the end!

Oktoberfest Zinzinnati!!!

So this time I went to Oktoberfest Zinzinnati (Cincinnati). Sadly, I didn't take that many photos what-so-ever. Mainly because I forgot with a little mix of the place being so crowded I could get a good view of anything! I love Oktoberfest, but that was Oktoberfest gone wild! It was very crowded and some people were kinda rude. Plus, I thought it was REALLY pricey. 

My boyfriend's dad had to play his horn at "The Uber Dome." At first I thought it was going to be so much fun! Then I saw the price for VIP. Which my boyfriends dad paid for, but I couldn't believe it! We only got one drink and one trip to the buffet. You'd think that'd be enough except they suggested to get your moneys worth to use your drink ticket for beer (which I can't get). The issue with food was they only had five things to choose from and when we got up there everything was almost gone! I got a pretzel stick with cheese, a piece of chicken, and some apple strudel and on top of that we had to go buy our own pops.

The seating there was awful as well. It was VIP but all you could see of the stage was speakers! I was really disappointed because they did a funny skit, but in my photos everyone in the skit is blocked by the speakers. So all I have is a picture of the view outside the dome. It's very pretty, I just wish I could have some photos with more German culture to show you guys.

Don't even get me started on those dirndl costumes! Not the actual dirndls but the ones from costume stores. All I can say is COVER UP! If you were at a adult halloween party whatever do what you want, but there are children around! 

I should probably go take a deep breathe and count to ten.

Oktoberfest Fun!

So the weekend of August 23rd-25th was our local Germania Society Oktoberfest! Which makes me happy because my boyfriend (Johnny) and his family belong to the club. His mom is in charge of the pretzel booth.

Another reason why to be so happy about that weekend was Johnny's twenty-first birthday! He only had one beer and had a designated driver, don't worry. Some of his friends from outside of the club joined us to celebrate his birthday.  Instead of drinking he and his friends decided to play poker the whole night. Haha. He says he really enjoyed his birthday, though. You can tell by the smile on his face!

We had a blast the whole weekend, but by the last day we we're so warn out from working so hard all weekend long we were so ready to sleep in the next day. It was a great weekend and I can't wait until next year! (:
