We were actually in town for the weekend which was a nice change of pace. We started it out with taking in one of the last Brewer's games for the season. Thank goodness since they have not had a very stellar year. The Friday night game continued the bad news as they lost again. But we had a good time with our friends, Patty and Rob, chatting about work (Jo and Patty) and about baseball/life (Rob and me). Certainly enjoyed our ballpark meal as we decided to not do the traditional ball park frank and had milkshakes and burgers instead.
Saturday after some early morning exercising, we were joined by Kathy and Drew to participate in Doors Open Milwaukee. This is an annual event, that we never seem to be in town for, in which buildings throughout Milwaukee provide tours and access inside their buildings. This is a great chance to see rooms and buildings that are normally closed off to the public. They also held a scavenger hunt with it to help motivate you to find certain items across the city. We had a great time going to the observation deck of the US Bank building, the Milwaukee Historical Society building (which was originally a bank complete with the multiple safes for viewing), City Hall to see the Mayor's office, Turner Hall, and trying to complete some of the scavenger hunt items. It was a busy day that we finished off by catching the second half of the Badger football game and finally a beer and pretzel at our favorite beer garden in Estabrook Park.
Sunday we headed out to brunch at Benji's with Kathy, Drew, and Amy. Afterwards everyone headed home while Jo and I puttered around the house knocking off some chores. We finished the day watching our Packer's continue their winning streak this year.
