Jason went out for a short run this morning.
My shoulder was really bothering me so I took some medication and just stayed in the room.
Jason made me a coffee before he left so I sat out on our balcony to enjoy it.
This is the view one way.
This is looking the other way.
It was chilly out so I didn't stay out there long.
Jason saw this while out on his run.
We had to be checked out by 10:30 so when Jason got back from his run, we packed up and left.
I don't think we would stay at that hotel again.
It was really outdated, everything was old.
We got it for a discounted price because its the off season but I would have felt cheated if it had been regular price.
We went to Bella Goose Coffee for breakfast.
It had a ice view of the river.
It was cute inside and it was a hopping little spot.
This was a short lull but it got super busy right after this.
I had a biscuit with butter and jam.
The biscuit was still warm so the butter melted.
It was delicious.
I had a BLT on sour dough bread as well and the tomato soup.
Jason had the avocado toast.
The food was really great!
We stopped in at Top Secret to take some close up pictures of the transformers.
It's an 'upside down' building.
This one looked like it was breaking out of the building.
There are a couple of transformers and the Predator by the entrance.
Then this guy - I had Jason get in the picture so you could see how tall they really were.
And there I am with Bumble Bee.
This is just the foot - it's made of a bunch of junk parts welded together.
They are pretty cool looking.
Here they are from the side.
These ones by the entrance were smaller.
This was the smallest one.
This is the predator.
The entrance fee to go through the place was only 7 bucks so we decided to go through and check it out and it was so dumb.
A few rooms with the furniture up on the ceiling and that was pretty much it.
Mount Olympus resorts seems to be a big resort here in town so there were a lot of Mt Olympus themed things around all over.
We stopped at Hobby Lobby on our way out of town, saw some cute things.
Like this puppy.
And a huge rubber duck that I would have bought if I could have fit it in my suitcase.
I considered getting this picture to put in my bedroom but in the end decided against it,
I'm still leaning toward buying some wallpaper I saw that I really liked.
We hit the road for Milwaukee after that.
It took a couple hours - I was falling asleep again.
We made it to Milwaukee and checked into our hotel.
Then we walked over to pick up Jason's race pack for the run tomorrow.
Cool art on an electrical box.
I love the old buildings and architecture, like this doorway - so beautiful.
This is up close - look at all of the detail.
This is the River Walk area.
There were all these little duck statues.
These ones looked like they were soaking up the sun.
I love these old Marquis signs too.
So many beautiful old buildings every where you look.
Jason's bib for the run tomorrow.
Strange sculpture on the River Walk.
They are kind of creepy.
These apartment buildings are right on the River Walk, how great would it be to live there?
Milwaukee mural on the River Walk wall.
We found the Bronze Fonz - A nod to Happy Days which was set in Milwaukee.
The old buildings next to the modern ones look so good.
Milwaukee River Walk
This canoe full of duckies though!
Another sculpture on the River Walk.
This was just randomly on the sidewalk.
Another little duckie.
So fancy.
This building was so ornate - just gorgeous.
These were on the front of the building by the entrance.
Just look at all the details!
This building had giant lady bugs on it.
We went over to the
Public Market to get something to eat.
Public Market to get something to eat.
It was crazy busy inside.
There was a bakery that had some good looking baked goods.
Yummy.
I got one of these to try.
I also got a Heath cookie (a Heath bar is like a Skor bar).
I also got an oatmeal cream cookie.
They were all really good.
We didn't really see anything we wanted to eat for supper though so we decided to look for another place to eat.
We found 3rd Street Market Hall.
Apparently it's the 2nd best food hall in America.
It was nice inside - it was busy also but it didn't feel as crowded.
These are the three spots we ended up getting food from.
We got a ground beef pastie from Mr. Dye's Pies.
We got chicken ramen from Kawa.
And then we also got a chicken arepa from Anytime Arepa.
It was all very good,
They had Ube Cheesecake at Anytime Arepa so we tried that as well.
We checked out Kohl's afterwards, Jason found a pair of Nike's for a good deal.
I got some leggings.
More cool marquis.
Looks like a message just for me.
Milwaukee is a really nice city, we are liking it a lot!
We popped into the TJ Maxx and it was in the nicest building.
Just look at how great it is!
I ended up getting a couple of tops.
The view from our room as the sun was going down.
We went back to the room fairly early, Jason's run starts at 7 am tomorrow morning so he wants to be well rested!
Got all my steps in.
That's all for today, until next time, be happy!
