ROAD TRIP had a blast crossing 7 states and partying in Wisconsin!
The small group of travelers departed Dallas on Tuesday morning July 26, returned to Dallas on Thursday evening August 4. The highlight of the trip was 3 days at the Milwaukee Germanfest! ...but so much fun was had at all of the places traveled! The US has so many exciting things to see!
Featuring the Schurzenjager from Austria this year ONLY. We saw them up close and in person. What a show!
