Milwaukee continued....

Here's another photo from the tour guide's car as we drove along the lakeshore. There were crowds of people enjoying the beaches and park. Thanks again Anne, for being such a great guide. The Milwaukee tourism board needs to hire you!!


At Mader's everyone has to sit in the "chair", so of course we obliged. There is also an impressive hall of fame, with framed, signed photos from all the famous folks who've had a meal at this old german restaurant. It sure made me lonesome for the old Schnitz here in GR. Our food was wonderful. Lois took one of each entree, so I'll have to direct you to her blog for more photos of food!

After lunch, we walked next door to the Spice Shop and I bought some juniper berries and cardamom for Gregg. Then a stop across the street to take in the smells and sight of the famous Usinger sausages. We were all too full from lunch to be tempted to buy any more food there. However, there's ALWAYS room for cheese! So we did make a few purchases at the cheese store at the corner.


Milwaukee is well worth the trip. We really enjoyed exploring the city and I'd go back again soon if I could. Thanks so much again, Anne! And thanks to my mother and mother-in-law for being such good sports for this late mother's day trip.

ALL THANKS go to Mary Jane and Gregg for making possible this wonderful Milwaukee weekend! We missed you, Gregg...you were remembered via. a toast at Mader's!
Very special to reconnect with Anne who so graciously logged up many miles/hours touring Milwaukee!
What a memorable weekend in a great city!
