After our home visit, we returned to McKinley Harbor, Milwaukee. We spent four wonderful days exploring Milwaukee, bicycling along the waterfront, and visiting with friends.

| At the Irish Festival, we enjoyed Shepard's Pie, corned beef, and Jameson's whiskey. The highlight of the evening was attending a concert by the Irish rock band, the Red Hot Chilli (sic) Pipers. The band is comprised of four bagpipers, a guitarist, and drummer. It was a hand-clapping, foot-stomping good time! |

We rode our bicycles to the Milwaukee Art Museum. This beautiful entrance
wa designed by Santiago Calatrava and is a masterpiece in itself!
Our visitors came to see our tug, enjoy a meal with us, and just plain enjoy each other's company. Matthew and his parents visited on Saturday, August 21 and Tracy and her family stopped by on Monday afternoon for a short cruise on Lake Michigan and dinner at Samantha and Carter's favorite Cuban restaurant, Cubanitas.Ummm, black bean soup!! This was a great way to spend our last night in Milwaukee!
  We left Milwaukee on Tuesday, August 24 and made a two-night stop in Winthrop,Illinois at North Point Marina. Richard drove to Lake Zurich to Fenwal headquarters to work for a day and a half while I took advantage of the miles of bike paths around the marina. He did treat me to a ride to the Gurnee Mills Outlet Mall! We also spent time visiting with Dan and Laurie who Richard knows through the "hockey channel".
Lots of fun!
On Friday, August 27 we left for the windy city of Chicago!!!
