Bradford Beach, Grand Avenue Mall, and Art Museum again
I'm loving Milwaukee more and more every weekend. This Sunday we started by just walking around Milwaukee downtown for a while and saw the huge library and other cool looking gov't buildings. I also just like the feel of walking in a city sometimes. We ended up at the Grand Avenue mall, which is one of the most unique malls I've ever seen. It seems to be built in a bunch of old office buildings with catwalks connecting the buildings across the street. It was a really neat mall to wander.

In the mall, I thought it looked cool. There isn't much below those stairs, just offices
Since it was built into office buildings, the anchor stores just took up the hallway on each side of the building. This is TJ Maxx
We also ended up going to the art museum again, because it's the cool place to be ;) We got a membership this time so now we can go to the museum how ever often we want and to all the exhibits without being charged extra. They also gave us some nifty magnets and we get discounts to all of the events
So, we saw the featured exhibit ("Activate the Art") and some more of the museum that we didn't get to last time. And yet we still haven't gotten to all of the museum.
"Snow" this is Paul and me if you can't tell

Blown glass is cool
And to end our day, we went to the beach! :D This is might have just been the deciding factor for me staying in Milwaukee! (we'll see if I'm still saying that in Jan...hehe) It is like having the ocean just 15 minutes away! I loved spending the evening walking along the tide coming in (the water wasn't actually wasn't too cold) and relaxing on the beach. It was a perfect day for it too, since it was in the 70's all day.
The moon over the water, since this is Milwaukee, the sun is setting behind me. Though, I bet the sunrise would look awesome.
Paul's always playing the sand when we go to the beach. There's a sphinx growing on my feet!
