Milwaukee trip





We spent 4 days visiting Milwaukee, WI (Sat-Tues) with Nora/Kevin and Dan/Karen in the Milwaukee suburbs. We got to see their new baby girls, Allie, and Cassidy, (ages 7 mos. and 4 mos. respectively). Michelle's college friend Lauren and her husband Josh drove from Michigan 7 hours to see everyone and stayed just 24 hours.

On Sunday we went to the Milwaukee Zoo and had a great time. Very nice zoo there. Big cats, polar bears, grizzlies, Elk, Gorillas, apes,wolves and many more. And a hyena who did a cool trick by standing on his back legs and spinning around.

We went to Downtown Milwaukee on Monday and Lake Michigan, near the yacht harbor. Never having been to any of the Great Lakes, it is more like the ocean, but not as blue. Saw kite boarders at the beach launching off the waves 20 feet off the water's surface. Had lunch at a hipster coffee shop.

We grilled on Monday night and prior to leaving Tuesday toured Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team.
The photos are the Milwaukee Zoo, the harbor, and downtown.
Great trip!
