Milwaukee by Boat

On our day trip, we took a boat tour of milwaukee.  We love boat tours because the skylines are always gorgeous and seeing a city as a whole, from the outside, gives a different perspective.  For instance, we had the opportunity to see the architecture of the art museum that we went to later in the day from the water side. 

During the tour there were a lot of sailboats out and we passed by both historical and current lighthouses.  (Reinforcing my love of nautical things.)  It was a beautiful day to be on the water.  It started out a little gray, but became a clear, sunny sky.  Perfect for boating.

We met a couple on the boat that lived in milwaukee-they were being tourists in their own town (how fun!)-who gave us some great recommendations.  They told us to check out the third ward for dinner, shopping, and such.  We took their advice, which I'll post soon!
