The selection of cheese is wide and everything is locally made in Wisconsin. There&#8217;s also a bakery and some other local products, like jam and jelly beans (there&#8217;s a factory close by). There&#8217;s also postcards and cheese decorations. It&#8217;s a fun place and I enjoyed the trip there.<br><br><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/windpointlighthouse.org\/\">Wind Point Lighthouse<\/a><br>The lighthouse is a nice and beautiful area. It overlooks Lake Michigan and is a great photo spot. There are many rocks around the lake, so you can&#8217;t go down to the edge unfortunately, but the rocks are good places to sit. When we went, it was raining, not letting us see the full magnificence of the lighthouse, but I&#8217;m glad I was at least able to see some of it.<br><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/wrightinwisconsin.org\/wingspread-wind-point\">Wingspread house<\/a><br>This is a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (a famous architect). The house is shaped like a pinwheel and covers 14,000 square feet. We didn&#8217;t get to go inside the house, but it seemed like an amazing creation from the outside!<br><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamerenda125.com\/\">La Merenda<\/a><br>La Merenda is a really great restaurant with food from all over the world. The patio has many plants, like mint, thyme, kale, and so much more. The food is served in a tapas style (small sharable plates) and is delicious. Each dish is different and I really enjoyed them.<br><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boswellbooks.com\/opening-letter-0\">Boswell Book Company<\/a><br>This is a great bookshop! I always love bookshops and this was no exception. There were some really great books and I loved the way recommendations were also included. I saw a few super cool posters and magnets. Overall, this place is great!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0294-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1014\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0294-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0294-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0294-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0294-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0294-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0294-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to Chicago recently.
