[@timpellett9701]

I lived in Waukesha Wisconsin for the first 53 years of my life. It’s beautiful in the summer but rough in the winter! I love how Sevierville has all four seasons but really mild winters!

[@janetwolff4040]

You two are showing places of interest I would have otherwise never gotten to! What fun! Thanks much! Hugs from Maumee!

[@SpotofTeaGirl]

Hi D & W! Local here; I've been watching you show your adopted hometown for a few years now, it's been a real kick watching you discover mine! Awesome choice for lunch from the West Allis Cheese Shop. We love that place, and get the Italian almost every time we go there. It's their second location, the first being in the suburb of West Allis. Milwaukee has some serious issues for sure, but the downtown is clean, and there's lots to do. Speaking of lots to do, I guess I'll see in the next video if you made it to Summerfest? If not, you really should put it on your list if you pass through the Milwaukee area again. It can be pricey if you don't do your homework on things like discounts and admission deals. Still, it's great fun, and George Carlin was arrested performing there!

[@deanosborne4830]

It's Colette and Dean enjoyed the video. Getting to see alot places . It's so much fun. Enjoy your vacation. Can't wait for more videos.

[@chadloveless3985]

[@kristaseyler654]

[@dianapearson1771]

Those sandwiches 😮!!!!! I’m swooning!!!! Looks worth driving up just a o get that sandwich!!!!

[@cynthia6055]

Love this midwest trip you're on....I so appreciate you two sharing this amazing trip ~ so appreciate your channel !!

[@Victory1981]

I took a road trip to a Wisconsin two years ago. Fried cheese curds are so good they should be illegal. I did some hiking on the Ice Age Trail, and I went to the Wisconsin Dells on a boat tour, which was great. I did the Upper Falls Tour. I also went to Devils Lake SP. I like the idea expression on your face when you bit in that sandwich and said OMG…..lol

[@Rhondagail]

Very cute ducks

[@lisanorstrom4656]

If you go back to downtown Milwaukee, you have to go to The Safe House it is a spy themed restaurant/bar - very cool. It is real close to the Market. Loved seeing Public Market, still by my spices from The Spicehouse online. I hope that you hit Mars Cheese Castle in Kenosha on your way home. It was nice seeing some familiar places from our past!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Rhondagail]

Im sorry I didn't give you something to drink when you came here

[@patkennard9234]

Being from Illinois, enjoying your trip thru the Midwest. Thanks for the tour . Keep up thd good work😊

[@filo8582]

Love your adventures!

[@debrametcalf2820]

How cool is that that y'all were able to see Michael Jackson's home!! He was a truly an amazing talent. I've seen Elvis Presley's childhood Home in tupelo Mississippi. I've never been to Graceland though. I've also seen the home Ernest Hemingway was born in in Oakpark, Illinois (near Chicago) and his home in Key West. Sadly all three those men had their share of problems.

[@roymaria6042]

Nice of you to visit Rhondagail she was probably surprised.

[@Rhondagail]

yes I was surprised

[@lindafern2007]

💐✨🤗✨💐

[@deborahmcdermott6927]

Kewpee Hamburgers is still open in Lima, OH! I ate there about 5 years ago. Love the view from the Oasis Plaza. I was a kid the first time we stopped at one of those that was over the road.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you for sharing 😃

[@watchingfromthesideline1408]

Thanks will and dawn for sharing 😊 Never been to Gary In. Keep up the good work 👍 👏

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you! Will do!

[@kristaseyler654]

Next time you're in Milwaukee go to mad chicken and eat you will love it !!!!!

[@estone9612]

You probably will not make it as far west in WI as LaCrosse but if you do be sure to check out Riverside Park and the downtown of LaCrosse; many great eating spots. We raised our family there but have lived down the road from you for the past eight years in Cleveland TN.

[@KathyWalters-ol8mh]

WE live in Indiana! We'd welcome you to visit our farm any time! God bless you. I love your videos each time.

[@user-il2py5ez8m]

Will your sandwich looked amazing. What else was on it besides the sausage and the cheese?

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Bread

[@josephgottschalk641]

We had a great time with our kids on the Dells years ago. Also visited Circus World in nearby Baraboo and the railroad museum in North Freedom. We roadie a ferry across the Wisconsin River and visited a cheese factory in the area. We ate at Paul Bunyan’s Lumberjack Camp and went to the Tommy Bartlett Ski Show. Lots to do in that area!

[@kristaseyler654]

Brats butter burgers cheese curds cream puffs and beer yum 😋 we have amazing food here !!!

[@ashleys_sadness]

I would have been worried stopping in Gary Indiana. Thanks for sharing your adventures

[@Sorrelsfamily]

[@terrib627]

I've stopped at that over the highway rest stop. It's neat but noisy.

[@elizabethmonteiro841]

Loved your video!! Thanks for sharing your adventures! Boy!! That sandwich you got at the Market Place looked so delicious!! Safe travels! Cheers from CT🎉

[@pinksparklystyle8969]

Thank you for bringing us along on your trip 🚗

[@robstravelsadventures]

It is a Badger. UoW mascot is a badger too! 🦡🦡🦡🦡

[@Sunnyfl2840]

In 1957 a compromise was reached, the American badger (Taxidea taxus) was named the state animal and the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was named the state "wildlife animal."

[@kristaseyler654]

Visit a small local creamery like Cady cheese or humbird and elsworth creamery they are the best !!!

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Safe travels, you two! 🙏 Hugs 🤗 and God bless 🙌

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you! 🤗

[@KimFusedFPV]

Welcome to Milwaukee! We are glad you liked our hometown, we LOVE Gatlinburg, TN. Glad you had fun & loved the cheese curds. The city is very clean.

[@ellenpage4054]
