Baby-Free Vacation: Beer, Brats & Cheesy Goodness, Day 1

Greetings from the great white north! We're in Milwaukee, having a great time. Today was a day of learning about beer-from Pabst to Miller (now MillerCoors) to Lakefront Brewery, we know more about the production of beer in this region that we (I) ever thought I would. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's first talk about our trip getting here.

Keith and I both worked Thursday, and got home a little early. We had a few moments with the boys before Gran GG distracted them for us, and we -in a flurry of activity- got our gear loaded up and headed to the airport. I love the feeling of anticipation right before a trip!

We had a few extra minutes before our flight, so we visited our friend Sammie.


Sammie treated us pretty good, and we shared a table with Josh, the horse whisperer from North Carolina. I've always thought horses were fairly stupid and useless animals, and I'm still not entirely convinced that they're not, but who knew there were so many kinds of horses? Josh had Tennessee Walking Horses at his farm, and told us all about it. Pretty cool. A good chat with him, and then it was time to board. Before we knew it we were off to the America's Diaryland.

Milwaukee surprised me a bit-it's clean and surpringsly pretty! It's a bit cold, but not too bad, and a little rainy, but we're having a good time. Our hotel is bad-ass! Kudos to me for finding this place.

More from us tomorrow.
