Sara and Keith arrived on Friday around 11. Since this was Sara's first flight I made a sign for her and held it up when they walked to baggage claim.
Our first night we stayed in Chicago. We checked into our hotel and ate lunch at Ed D'Bevic's which is an old 50s style diner where the waitstaff throws menus at you, chews gum in your face and tells you that the food you just ordered will make you gasy. It was a nice place....no really.
Then we walked down to Michigan Ave. and had cocktails on the 95th floor of the Hancock Building to celebrate Sara's birthday. What a view!! What a great place to go. If you are ever in Chicago please do this. I think it is better than going to the observation deck. You still have a great view, its free, no long lines (unless it is a friday or saturday night) and you can buy a drink.
Here are some views from our table...
After a drink or two you will start to see like this......
We went in several stores and then headed to Navy Pier. After that we had happy hour at the hotel and then headed to Zanie's Comedy Club to see Brett Ernst. We laughed and laughed. This was my first visit to a comedy club and I can't wait to go back.
On Saturday we went to the Planetarium and then headed up to Madison. We gave Sara and Keith a tour of our new city and visited the capitol and the Cave of the Mounds National Park.
On Monday we toured Miller Brewing Company and had a blast with their free samples at the end of our tour. You know you are in Wisconsin when the free samples are 3, 20 oz. mugs of beer per person. WooHoo!!! If you like beer and are in Milwaukee this is a must do. The tour is free and so are the beers.

Aww! That looks like so much fun! I'd love to go up and visit Chicago (and Madison, of course!). Everything looks so beautiful!
