I'm a bad bad blogger. Two weeks without a post? Is anyone even still reading? I'm going to blame the fact that I have not been good at picture taking. Posts without pictures can be boring, so I'm going to have to use the trusty old internet to come up with some images for this post.
So...there are two weekends that I need to recap. Lets start with two weeks ago.
We spent the weekend in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. H had a work meeting to attend from Saturday-Wednesday, so I joined him for Saturday through Monday. We flew Midwest Airlines on one of those small, 13 row planes. Naturally we both got searched at the airport. Normally I don't mind, but this time I was only taking a carry on. (H checked a bag which contained my liquid stuff) My carry on was stuffed to the gills so that when the airport security people unzipped it, it flew open like a jack in the box. Bras and underwear everywhere. Gotta love that. Other than that the flight was easy. (Other than the fact that I was in an aisle seat on row 13 out of 13 so every time someone had to get to the bathroom I had to lean over...But whatever. The flight was less than an hour.
After we checked into the hotel H had to go to a meeting. I had planned on walking around the city and up to Lake Michigan, however, the weather was not cooperating. It was drizzling and only 65 degrees. So what's a girl to do? Locate a spa, of course! I found the W spa at the Pfister hotel and got a great pedicure. (And I sent text messages to H to let him know how much I was enjoying myself while he was stuck at a work meeting. )
That night we went to a Mediterranean restaurant called Yaffa's. The food was only so-so, but I had a delicious cucumber martini.
The next day we went and checked out the historic Third Ward shopping area.
Very cute shops and restaurants. I would love it if they would open something like the Milwaukee Public Market in downtown St. Louis. It had awesome cheeses, spices, fresh seafood, etc from different local vendors. (Sort of like a really big, upscale, indoors, farmer's market.) We also walked up to Lake Michigan. It sort of puts the ol' muddy Mississippi to shame. Not that they're really comparable, but still....
The evening was spent out on the town with some work colleagues.
Monday I attended some more work functions and flew out that afternoon. Naturally I got searched again. This time not until I was actually walking down the temporary bridge thing to actually walk onto the plane. (Long after I had actually gone through security.) They pulled me aside before I could actually board. My overstuffed carry on must have looked very suspicious. I must say however--have you ever flown on Midwest Airlines? If you have an afternoon flight you get warm, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. They were heavenly! It definitely made up for having to sit in the last row but the toilet again. :)
