Destination: Wisconsin (Days 1-3)

We arrived to Wisconsin on a plane at the La Crosse Airport April 29. The weather felt colder than I had anticipated, but I believe it is suppose to warm up within the next few days. Thank goodness for tights and cardigans.

****EAT**** When we travel we always research the best places to eat around the area we will be staying at. A restaurant called Fayze's was on top of the list for best restaurants to eat in La Crosse. The lunch was delicious. I ordered their fish sandwich, a battered deep fried cod between talame bread. Most of their sandwiches are served on talame (ta-lay-me)bread, a Labanese white bread. It was so soft on the inside and flaky on the outside. One of the best bread I have ever had on a sandwich. The cod was very flaky as well.

Mark ordered a bacon cheeseburger. He loved it and said that the cheese was amazing probably because it was a slice of Wisconsin cheese. On day two we went to Burnstad's for dinner. It kind of reminded me of a mix between Cracker Barrel and Whole Foods because it was a grocery store/restaurant/shop all in one.

I ordered the pork medallions with veggies and mashed potatoes. The veggies were so fresh. Mark had the sirloin with veggies and baked potatoes. Loved every bite!

On day three we drove to Eau Claire to eat at Pad Thai Restaurant. It was quite a drive just to go eat ( a little over an hour), but it was worth it. Mark and I both enjoyed our meal very much. I ordered fried tofu for our appetizer and Pho ( a Vietnamese rice noodle soup dish) as the entree. Love me some Pho!I still think that the Vietnamese restaurant I use to work at in California has the best Pho. I usually compare any I eat to that one. Mark had the red curry with steamed rice. He loved it.

We also stopped by Oakwood Mall and tried the cheese curds and frozen custard at Culver's (known to the locals as the equivalent to McDonald's). Will post more soon. Bye for now!
