In early September we went up to Milwaukee (with a quick stop in Chicago) to visit friends. Milwaukee is a neat city. It's kind of like a mini-Chicago, with a nice lakefront and a river right through the center of town. It has a bunch of really active neighborhoods with cool buildings, shops, and restaurants. Definitely an overlooked gem of the Midwest!
 |
| Of course we stopped by Six Flags Great America (halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee) to ride the new X-Flight coaster. Very fun! |
 |
| There was an international kite festival in downtown Milwaukee. |
 |
| Downtown Milwaukee... another random festival. |
 |
| The Milwaukee Art Museum. The "wings" open and close like a bird. |
 |
| We rented a boat for a little booze cruise down the river. |
 |
| The river is lined with offices and condos, and has a nice riverwalk on both sides. |
