Short and Sweet.

Jim and I went on a short vacation these past few days to Milwaukee. Here is a just a short list of the things we did, but not a long post on memories:

2 stays at LaQuinta - pricelined - great bargain
1 stay at Extended Stay - pricelined - good price, bad place - so I guess bad price for the place
Cracker Barrel stop
JELLY BELLY FACTORY and watching Jim try gross ones
Prime Outlets "tour" and purchases
Dinner at a "famed" german restaurant, Mader's in downtown Milwaukee
Using a GPS (Mandy), finding she has us lost, we decide it was to keep us AWAY from Maders, but we did not listen (we should have)
A swimming pool in our first hotel.
A first hotel with double beds!
Apple Holler: amazing restaurant, apple picking, and feeding cute baby goats
Chillaxing at the hotel
Our second try at dinner: Tumbleweed, just so-so
Watching Iron Chef
Going to bed both nights by 9:30 p.m....but sleeping until 8:30 a.m. and getting continental breakfast!
A Milwaukee Brewers game with HOT BOILING tailgating (I almost fainted) - they're serious about tailgating in Milwaukee
Another mall stop for Milwaukee gear
Denny's Brunch sort of
Spending time at a "Safehouse" and lunching there (BEST place in Jim's opinion)
Walking around Gurnee Mills
Laundry, suitcase cleanout
Trying to figure out what to do for dinner at home because we are still on "vacation"
Papa Johns - new location near our house - even getting lost then with a GPS because the clerk DOESNT KNOW HIS OWN ADDRESS!

All in all, a great weekend and something we are sure to try and repeat in the future!
