Milwaukee Sights

I had a pretty relaxing weekend.  We started off with a day trip to Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Friday. Frank really wanted to get out of the city, so we explored Milwaukee.  It isn't too far from us.  Took less than 2 hours and even less since we went to Frank's work site first.  It was half way in between.

We visited the Milwaukee Public Market.  It is like the Ferry Building in San Francisco, The Chelsea Market in New York City, etc...  At the Taste of Wisconsin you can get some delicious cheese orphans for a great deal!  I picked up some Jalapeno Cheese Havarti for two dollars.  I enjoyed a delicious Lobster Dinner for $14.  It was the best!  Frank got the Shrimp Po' Boy and some oysters, also delicious!

St. Paul Fish Company Lobster Dinner, A MUST!

Milwaukee also has a lot of Breweries.  We visited Lakefront Brewery and took a tour there.  For $7, you get a tour, four tastings, and a pint glass.  They have a really big Brew Hall.  On Fridays they do a Fish Fry and we tried some of that.  It was good, not too greasy and you get more fish than batter. The potato pancakes were nothing to rave about.  I would get the mac n cheese since it is a better bang for your buck.  Also, THE BAVARIAN PRETZEL IS SO DELICIOUS!!!!

To conclude our short day trip we venture over to the Milwaukee Public Library.  This place really has some nice stone/marble work.  A good free activity.  We'll come back when it is warmer and check out the Riverwalk.
