The Makeshift Local

Had to rep some Wisconsin gear because I’ll be coming back to the homeland!

Where exactly? My hometown first while I figure out the adventures of buying a house.

No matter where I am, Wisconsin is home. It’s my roots, it’s where my family is. I’d love to give my son that too.

So I’ve got a little more than 8 weeks left in Colorado and plan on taking full advantage of this beautiful place before it’s just a place I get to visit.

Wildy approves of his 2 months here so far.

The weather has been eerily warm here in Colorado and since I can’t control it, might as well embrace it. We have been patio hopping a lot lately.

Here are some places we have loved to enjoy the outdoors and a brew:

What a year it has been and what a year it will be. There’s so much to be excited for this year. Getting a mini me to explore the world, more adventures with my puppy, that sweet sweet pint of craft beer from my favorite breweries again, and evolving into my best self even more.

And right in me”

My happy place (and Augie’s too.)

I would have to say that my #1 destination and where I go the most is the Tony Grampsas Dog Park and

This dog park is filled with friendly faces (both furry and not) and is so beautiful any season. Well maintained and has a stunning view of North Table Mountain.

has it all. Great atmosphere and view, great beer selection (and NA selection,) and always a food truck or two. Not to mention fun events and live music on Thursdays.

Both are just steps away from each other.
