Friday afternoon I drove to Chicago stopping in Indiana to pick up Colleen from an interview. Then in Chicago I went to play with my sister for a couple hours before we packed up the car and headed to Wisconsin! Kylie's apartment is super cute and in a GREAT location. We walked everywhere all weekend because it's all so close! Her apartment overlooks the Riverwalk and though it was frozen and snow covered while we were there, I believe her when she says it looks nice in good weather. We arrived in Milwaukee, did some snacking and chatting, and then headed out for the night! We decided to try some places Kylie had never been before just for a little change of pace. The second bar we went to had a pretty empty dance floor so we took full advantage and showed off our killer dance moves. I seemed to have misplaced my camera cord when I was unpacking after Turkey but once I find it, I'll be sure to post some pics.
Once we were done dancing, we headed to a place that Kylie has named "Clown Bar". As we were walking there we ran into some Australians on the street. What Australians are doing in Milwaukee is beyond me and I decided it was a moment worth documenting. Colleen, did you by any chance remember to ask them if they knew Louie?
Saturday morning we woke up rather early (I'll take some responsibility for that) and headed out for bagels. It was only after milk was spit up on to the table from laughing way too much (Is this meat!?) that we decided it was time to go. We changed into some warm attire (as it was now snowing heavily) and headed to the ice skating rink! Now, I haven't been ice skating in who knows how long but we managed to avoid any catastrophic spills so we couldn't have been that bad. We then headed inside to go watch Purdue beat IU in basketball (Go Boilers!) and then headed back to Kylie's for naps (which I did not take) and showers (which I did take).Saturday night we were joined by Kylie's friend Carrie who fit right in. We headed to a bar called Bootleggers for our Mardi Gras celebration! After a little while at Bootleggers they switched from a DJ to a 2 man band. I'd have to say that they were pretty good (though Colleen disagreed for certain songs). :) We ended up staying there until close at which point we headed back to Kylie's for a dance party and staying up as late as possible.
Sunday morning we woke up, tidied up and then headed back on the road to Chicago. Then it was back in the car for me for another 5 hours. Thank goodness for books on tape and a lot of singing and dancing in the car. I made it back by 8pm and was asleep by 8:30.This weekend...Dallas, Texas!!
