Friends Happen

For the past few days my friends - Amanda, Nathan, and my fairygodchild Ransom - have been visiting me in Milwaukee. Amanda is an avid Facebooker and has been tracking our adventures in her status updates and photographs. This led to my mother commenting, "Amanda really makes Milwaukee seem more glamourous than you do."

She's right. I do need to be more aware of the cooler aspects of Milwaukee. I need to be more aware of what I share about my time in Milwaukee and be sure to not just focus on the negative aspects. There are some real Milwaukee positives - a few of which we've done this week.

Kopp's Custard - it's a dangerously delicious place. We've gone twice this week. So far.

Sprecher's Brewery - We toured the brewery then spent a great deal of time drinking several different kinds of soda. Beer is over-rated. Bring on the gourmet soda pop beverages!

Milwaukee Public Market - Nathan and Amanda had deep-fried cheese curds for the first time. What a Milwaukee thing to do. We also bought delicious bread.

Did you know there's a lake here? It's a pretty big one. It's a pretty big deal. We saw it. We put our toes in it. We shivered.

Thus ends this blog post. (Must go spend more time with the peeps before they leave tomorrow.)
