THE TOWN WE RESIDE IN ~ FOR THE SUMMER

    WHERE WE RESIDE IN THE SUMMER MONTHS

West Bend, Wisconsin is a quaint town in the middle of Kettle Moraine country. A moraine is a land formation, created by the movement of a glacier.
This area is very beautiful, as most of WI is. 

We plan on exploring the Kettle Moraine areas this summer. Starting with the Kettle Moraine scenic drive.

The following pictures are of West Bend's downtown. Of course, not every store/and there are many/just a few places which would entice anyone to spend time exploring the town and stopping for a bite to eat at one of the unique restaurants found scattered throughout the main drag.


The downtown park is very attractive and invites you to "sit a spell," relax and watch the passerbys. On Saturdays the park area and Main St. are abounding with Farmer's Market activity.  The street is closed down and the joys of fresh produce are offered by local growers.



Great, old buildings grace the streets of West Bend and flowers spill out throughout the town.


The town continues and splits as you drive down the street.  Fun shops are here and there just waiting for one to explore. There are several more than I have posted here.  The corks and wine bottle display is featured in front of an Italian restaurant, which has made our list of places to return to in West Bend.




A creative sign on one of the downtown shops. This sign indicates where I am at, with this post, and future posts until I get an update on my aircard.
I feel like the turtle, in the race against cyberspace.  I WILL win ~ just need to figure out the problem with my computer!
