Greetings From Sunny Milwaukee!

Greetings WesHoes. Wait, that came out all wrong. Anyway-- I suppose it's my turn to update the Blog of Wonderment.

The beginning of my summer was fairly average, consisting mostly of watching Lost on the internet and working at my internship at the Dept. of Social Services, where I write press releases and work on ad campaigns (but I have my own office!). I actually had my first article published last Saturday in the highly esteemed Hickory Daily Record. Other than that, the only exciting moments occurred when I went to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg and a Rilo Kiley show in Asheville.

Anyways on the 28th, my grandparents, brother, and I traveled 13 hours to New Berlin, WI (to visit my cousins, aunt, and uncle), which is where I'm currently blogging from. Monday we rode the train to Chicago, which was exciting because it just so happens to be my favorite city in the US. Then last night we went to Summerfest in downtown Milwaukee to see Alkaline Trio and experience a bit of Wisconsin culture. The accent here is so strange and they eat a LOT of cheese. But anyway it was a great concert despite getting rained on. Then tomorrow a bunch of us are going to a Brewers/Pirates game at Miller Park, which will probably prove to be entertaining. Yay for drunken baseball fans! Haha

After I head back to Hickory on Saturday, I'm turning around and leaving for Boston on the 13th for Passport Camp with my youth group. That always proves to be interesting. So I'm sure you guys will hear a lot about it. Which reminds me, I need to watch the Departed a few more times to get my accent jusssst right.

Anyway, hope you guys are having great summers and I miss you all! See you soonish!
