Our visit to Wisconsin wasn't complete without at least one (ahem) trip to
Kopp's. As anyone from the Milwaukee area knows, there's nothing better. Their delectable frozen custard in every flavor imaginable and juicy jumbo cheeseburgers nothing short of amazing. There are only three locations, but we've never seen a time when you don't have to wait in line to order. I'll always remember being intimidated when I was little - the line moved so fast, the smells were intoxicating, and there was always lots of noise as someone announced, "Order 121 - pick up on the Blue mic!" Not having tables and chairs was mystifying, but eating on a bench was just part of the unique atmosphere.
On his last visit Evan was sadly too young for solid foods, but this time he was able to partake in the Kopp's happiness. The burger was almost as large as his head, but he gave it a good try. Once I gave him my shake, I almost didn't get it back. As much as he loved the food, however, he was totally enthralled with the massive waterfall at the Greenfield location. If we had let him, he might have stayed there for hours. He quickly made friends with other kiddos running around; they all chased each other between the cement benches and got drenched from the spray.
On a later visit that week (it's impossible to stay away!), Evan was solidly asleep in the car. He hadn't napped yet, and was completely dead to the world. As soon as we pulled into the Kopp's parking lot however, he somehow knew it. He woke right up and said, clear as a bell, "Kopp's? Burger? Ice Cream?"
