Milwaukee

We've just returned from a fantastic weekend in our neighbor city of Milwaukee. It is a tradition that we go there for Dave's birthday to celebrate and to get away from Chicago for a while. We stay at the Hotel Metro, which is just a lovely place. We skipped the art museum this time, but were able to walk around a lot (because for once it wasn't too cold) and shop. One of the best parts about going is just staying in our room, which is always very comfortable and enjoyable to sit around and read, etc.

The best part about being away for a weekend is returning home to our cats and finding them happy to see us! We've been hanging out with them this afternoon. Today is Dave's actual birthday and I think we're just going to stay home for the rest of the day. We may even watch the Sox game - who knows!
