The ladies got here Friday a.m. and I took the day off. Oh. Excuse me. I called in "sick"! A quick tour of the building, and then we were off to Miss Katie's Diner. Miss Katie's is a piece of Milwaukee history. It's a tiny diner that overlooks a very urban part of the city. When I am there looking out the window I can only think, "Yes. This is the Midwest." I love it! I think mom and Kelly did too. We spent Friday at the mall, because we figured Christmas shoppers would take it over on Saturday. We shopped for hours, and Kelly and I bought matching hats. We dined at the Cheesecake Factory for lunch, and took a trip to Target to buy me an iron (I don't own one, and mom's didn't fit in the suitcase!). Friday also included a trip to MetroMarket, which might have ended up being mom and Kelly's favorite place of the trip. See the picture! That's right, wine in the grocery store here in Wisconsin!
We had dinner at the Milwaukee Ale House, which is a local brewery in the Third Ward. I've been wanting to go there since I came to Milwaukee and I was so happy mom and Kelly got to go with me. We got home at an early (or so I thought) 9 p.m. and I promptly tucked Kelly into bed...Saturday we did a TON of local stuff. First, we had breakfast at this little cafe that Laura and I discovered on her trip here. It was delicious, and I'm going to go there with anybody who comes to visit me! We visited the Public Market, which is one of my favorite places in the city, we went to the park and saw the Veterans Day Parade, we watched UofM battle Wisconsin at my favorite bar, and we ate a fantastic dinner of deep dish pizza at a lovely restaurant for practically free...All in all, Saturday was super busy, and wonderful. That night we went to the Ambassador to have drinks with Judy and Eric. It was kind of sad because the bar was full so we sat in the restaurant and lost some of the appeal but still, it was wonderful. I really wanted mom and Judy to meet, and I wanted at least some of my family to meet Eric.
We woke up early on Sunday and went to church. It was nice to have somebody to go with, and of course, the church was beautiful! It was a quick day, and at about 1 Eric went with me to take mom and Kelly to the airport. It was sad to see them go, but I am of course super excited to be going home in a week to see everybody again!
Hugs & Misses, xo.

"Oh the places you will go" - what a blast we had. My feet never hurt so much (but the wine in the grocery store helped!). You were the perfect hostess and I can't wait for all your Michigan friends to come get a taste of Milwaukee. I'm glad you'll be home in November December and January! Thanks for the wonderful time. And in the words of Arnold "I'll be back"
Love you xo - Mom
Had a great time...although I'm not fond of that picture in the grocery store. Can't wait to visit sometime when the weather's warmer though! See you soon!
Love, Kel
I want to come back to eat in that cafe. And to see my roommate, of course(!). But seriously, yum.
