Milwaukee

We'd had this weekend getaway to Milwaukee planned for quite some time, so we ventured up north to get out of town. We met Uncle Neil's Family and Uncle Greg's family for many visits to museums and food. Milwaukee was beautiful! Very clean, with great museums. We stayed overnight at the Marriott Residence Inn, and it was an awesome hotel on the river!

First stop was the Betty Brinn Children's Museum. It was deceivingly large, and Lucy loved it! So did Sophie. Sophie took it all in from up high in her baby bjorn.

Rub a dub dub...

Great Grandpa would be proud.

We ate lunch at a pretty cool cafe near the water called Alterra at the Lake. It's a coffee roaster cafe in a unique old building. The food was pretty yummy, and the coffee was great! That's saying a lot...we're tough judges.

Off to Discovery World on the Pier.

These pictures don't do it justice, but our room was awesome. It had a kitchenette complete with a full fridge, dishwasher, and electric stove top burners. And the highest ceilings of any hotel room I've ever stayed in. I felt like we were in a mini version of the Home Alone suite from the Plaza Hotel.

Off to dinner. Lucy insisted ALL weekend to be carried by Auntie Michelle. I still can't quite figure it out. I mean, she's a pretty neat lady, but Lucy always clings to Mommy or Daddy. I guess it's a good thing she wasn't shy...

We stopped at a park along the lake the next morning. It was so nice.

The Milwaukee Public Museum. Lucy loved this one too! She loved the dinosaurs and all of the animals. It was really well done. We even saw an IMAX movie there and a live butterfly exhibit.
