Happy 3rd Birthday Griffin!!!

Airport fun

What to do in a Milwaulkee airport at 5:30am? Make friends with the news stand cashier and convince her to take pictures of us with cheese head hats...

It's a bird, it's a plane...it's an art museum?

Milwaukee is known for it's beer, cheese, beer, and art?. Well anyway it has a really cool art museum, which I never really had a chance to go inside but has a very cool architectual structue that looks like a bird and a couple of times a day, actually opens and closes it's wings. On Sunday afternoon a few of us walked to the museum to watch the giant bird try to take flight. There's not really much else to say, so I'll just post the pictures...

"It's Miller time!"

So we arrived in Milwaulkee at 9am and found out our room would not be ready at the hotel until the afternoon...hmmm...what to do? Hit the Miller factory for the first tour of the day! Andrew and I joined his parents, Peter and Joan, for a free 1 hour commercial...I mean, tour of the famous Miller beer factory. We learned all about the producing, packaging, shipping and selling of the famous beer and some interesting (I am being nice) history. The tour concluded with a stop at the Miller tavern where each person was given at least 3 mugs of different Miller beers and little bags of pretzels to absorb the alcohol...did I mention this was all at 10:30 in the morning? Andrew got a nice buzz on and Peter enjoyed his first mug of beer ever!

America's Dairyland (at least that's what their license plates says)

Denise and I just returned from a fun, action-packed weekend in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to attend (and participate) in Dave and Nina's Nuptials...There is plenty to report on from the weekend so check back soon....

HAIRCUT

Someone needs one bad....

"Let's go Cats!"

(knowing how much Andrew hates cats, I think that's the first and last time I will ever hear him yell that)

This past weekend we checked out the local minor league baseball team the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. The stadium is great, fairly new and within walking distance of our place so we didn't have to worry about parking (which is the main complaint of the stadium...no parking lot). We had a great time people watching, enjoying a snowcone and watching some ball (and watching out for balls...we were sitting in prime foul ball teritiory). The evening was capped off by a fireworks display that rivaled Manchester's fourth of July spectatular (okay..you've seen one fireworks, you've seen them all). All in all, it was a good night.


They were out of blue snowcones...I had grape and Andrew had cherry
