First Possible Outdoor Wedding of the Season



After a couple of rainy, cold days we are getting back to some beautiful spring weather - THANK GOD! I was beginning to wonder if that dumb groundhog has seen his shadow again! We have a wedding tomorrow that has always planned on having their ceremony in the Wisconsin Ballroom, but now might explore the option of moving it outside to the Harbor Gazebo. Who would have thought that possible on April 10th? Good for her!

This is the gazebo she's considering:


It's the more popular of the two gazebos we have on property, even though structurally they are exactly the same. People just love the water and boats in the background of their pictures, although the wooded backdrop of the Pavillion Gazebo is also very pretty.

Speaking of boats, we are so excited to see the first few boats out in the harbor! They can put them in the water on April 1st and have to have them out by November 1st at the latest. That's a looooong six months for us with the docks looking very sad and bare. When the boats start coming back we get so excited because it means another great season is upon us. Lake Geneva and the surrounding area is so much fun in the summer, with all the great festivals and activities.
Lake Geneva Cruise Line is also back up and running now and has their public tours starting. I've only been on their ice cream social cruise but I just LOVED it! It was so interesting to hear the history of some of the lakeside mansions and then they fed me a delicious ice cream sundae - who can beat that??? They also let kids have a turn "driving" the boat, which was a big thrill for my boys. I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon in Lake Geneva, honestly. (Well, maybe shopping would be nice, too!)
