Holy Hill Visit
The Catholic Church owns the best real estate in Southeastern Wisconsin. While driving around Milwaukee’s outer suburbs it’s hard not to notice The Basilica at Holy Hill looming over the landscape. Wisconsin is mostly flat — squished by the glaciers of the last several ice ages. When the glaciers retreated they left behind of few massive gravel piles that now make up major hills of southeastern Wisconsin. Holy Hill Basilica sits on top of the most prominent of the glacial formations. The church was built before the Milwaukee suburbs stretched far into the landscape and before the state decided to turn the glacial hills into a park. There is an observation deck inside of the highest steeple. Ella and I climbed to the top a few days ago. The leaves were slightly past peak, but the stormy fall sky made up for the lack of leaf color.

Thanks. Keep coming back! It’s been a little slow on this blog in October. I had a ton of time off and I don’t do much blogging when I am home. I go back to work on the third so look for more then.
