Uncle Mike comes to town! ( from Wisconsin)

Walking to the Island with the boys!

With Grace- Gigi's sis at The Island

Reading the paper in the am with "Papa's bruder"

Uncle Mike came in on Wednesday and we got to go out for dinner and hang out and he crashed- litterally- at our place for the nite. He called me around 5 pm on Wednesday and said "Hey! I am at Left Bank having a beer!" I said, "do you want to come over and have a beer with us???????" It's such a Salerno thing to do- bar hop while on "vacation". He came over and we went to Nola's in Palo Alto for dinner- thanks Uncle Mike! Linden got some beads.
Then I was hosting "popcicle night" in our neighborhood- at "The Island" ( a circle island down the street). So he got to meet some neighbors and we headed home to finish off two bottles of wine and chat about old times and all things Wisconsin!
It was so lovely to have him here- a peice of home, at our home.
