Midwest Trip: Day 1

Pics are up from day one of my adventures: Midwest Trip: Day 1



I (barely) caught the 6:35am flight to Chicago after pulling an all nighter. 4 hours of sleep later, I was in Chicago.

I was on the same flight as my co-worker, Carol and we waited for our other co-worker Ted to join us in Chicago. After he arrived on his delayed flight, we picked up our rental car and made our way to Milwaukee. We were trying to catch a Brewers game that was moved to 3pm from 7pm. Given the fact that Ted didn't land in Chicago till 2:30p, we didn't think we'd catch most of the game.
Wouldn't you know, not only did we catch the game, but we came just in time for the 9th inning rally and saw the Brewers beat the Padres in come back fashion. Catching all the action from the exclusive seats in the .300 club. (pics in the album)

Afterwards Scott/Jess (who's wedding I'm attending on Monday) took us too watch Comedy Sportz. It was super fun! I need to check out the one in San Jose and plan an outting there w/ my friends.

We then went to Polaris, which was a rotating restaurant on top of the Milwaukee Hyatt Regency. It was beautiful and the deserts was out of this world. (pics in the album)

I then had my first taste of Frozen Custard. Its more like super creamy ice cream than anything. Went to a place called Kopps where it is apparently a local favorite. (pics in the album)

I'm staying at Scott's/Jess' place in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and came back to do something that I suppose is very Midwest-ish. We burned things in their backyard. I guess its their way of getting rid of yard waste and getting some entertainment at the same time. (pics in the album)

Man, this is just day 1? Can't wait for day 2!
