We saw Call Me Dancer at the Oriental Theatre while in Milwaukee. The movie told the story of Manish and his passion to become a professional dancer against many odds.

We visited the Harley-Davidson Museum while in Milwaukee. None of us are huge motorcycle fans but it was still fun to see the history and progression of all the bikes over the years.

The Ube Toast Crunch Oatmeal at Uncle Wolfie’s Breakfast Tavern is delicious and strikingly purple!

While waiting for our table at Uncle Wolfie’s Mazie found these stairs and got some exercise. Then Tyler caught wind and a race was required.

I like this sculpture in combination with the buildings in downtown Milwaukee.

• Jamie has morning coffee at Discourse Coffee.
• Brunch at Blue’s Egg.
• Milwaukee Zoo. Rainy and pretty quiet.
• Big Putt’s Mini Golf — very well done course with a lot of fun holes. Jamie got four “hole in ones”.
• Attempted to see Call Me Dancer at the Oriental Theatre but the theater was closed. 😫
• Milwaukee Public Market for choose your own dinner: Freese’s Candy Shoppe, Foltz Family Market, C. Adam’s Bakery, and West Allis Cheese & Sausage Shoppe. Olive Oil for home from Oro Di Oliva.
• Battle House Laser Combat. Tyler and Jamie were on Blue Team with more players and won most of the games.

All of us were very sad that the Oriental Theatre water and heat were out of order.

Jump to day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or collection.

We wrapped the day with 2 hours of tactical laser tag at Battle House Laser Combat tonight. We were split up on different teams. Tammy was excited to get into battle!

It was cool and rainy so a trip to Big Putts Mini Golf was perfect. We arrived and the place was packed, but after the first few holes things moved along well. We loved the course — declared it probably our favorite mini golf ever. And I crushed it with a 35 along with four hole-in-ones! ⛳️🔥

A cold morning with drizzling rain isn’t the ideal day to see the Milwaukee Zoo but we still made the most of it.

• Breakfast at Toast.
• Amazing time at Milwaukee Art Museum.
• Tyler did amazing job flying at Extreme Flight Simulation.
• Tammy and Jamie see Brett Goldstein at the incredible Riverside Theater.
• Dinner at Tupelo Honey.
• Duckpin Bowling with manual pin setter at Koz’s Mini Bowl.

We went Duckpin Bowling tonight at Koz’s Mini Bowl. Koz’s has the oldest original Duck Pin bowling lanes with manual pin setters that sit behind the pins while you bowl.

Tammy won with 198, Mazie second at 194, Tyler third at 177, and I came in last at 140.

Tammy and I saw Brett Goldstein’s standup show “The Second Best Night of Your Life” at the Riverside Theater while in Milwaukee. Goldstein is best known for playing Roy Kent on Ted Lasso. Many good laughs and a great venue.

There was a stack over two feet high of large sheets of paper in the Milwaukee Art Museum. They all had printed in very small print in the middle “VETERANS DAY SALE”. We brought one back figuring Mazie may want to do a drawing on it. In the meantime it became Tammy’s own movable art piece.

The Milwaukee Art Museum was incredible. It was one of our favorite art museums that we have ever been to. Incredible art set in an incredible museum.

The architecture in the atrium of the Milwaukee Art Museum is amazing. It sets an incredible tone.
