You Just Had to Be There

There’s nothing quite like reminiscing about the time your family experienced the excitement of the American Birkebeiner cross-country ski race, the whirlwind weekend you spent dancing with friends at Summerfest or the last-minute meet up at the iconic Dane County Farmers’ Market that quickly became an annual tradition. Sometimes spur-of-the-moment trips are the key to making special memories together.
