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!

hello, milwaukee!

Yesterday we took a day trip to milwaukee.  Originally it just started out that we were going to see the offspring at the rave club in the evening (which we still did), but then we decided to arrive in milwaukee early and spend the day there.  And we made the most of the day!  We took a boat tour, went to the art museum, walked the waterfront, ate at the public market, and toured the third ward.

We fit alot in or at least i think so.  And you know what? We kind of really like milwaukee. ;)
