Weekend In Milwaukee!

I want to share with you some of the fun things we did last weekend in Milwaukee, WI. We went to visit our friend Matt who is finishing his last semester of college. Joe and I and Matt's girlfriend Laura drove 5.5 hours to get there but it seemed to go by pretty fast. We arrived about 11:30 on Friday night and just hung out in his studio apartment. After spending several days there I feel as though Joe and I could manage just fine in a space that size. On Saturday we planned to go snowboarding but we changed our minds and hung around all day and then went to an amazing restaurant called Thai-Namite:

On Sunday we went to the Milwaukee Art Museum. It is in a spectacular building designed by Santiago Calatrava:

We saw many amazing works by famous artists. Among them were Warhol, Lichtenstein, O'Keeffe, Close, Hanson, Donovan, Diebenkorn, Albers, and Kelly. Here are a few of the photos I snapped:

 Joe got a little carried away with the magnifying glasses in the print gallery:

After the museum the boys wanted to check out the indoor mountain bike track that they have been drooling over online since they found out it existed. It is called Ray's MBT. Laura and I went along even though we weren't going to be biking. We filmed the boys and took photos. Here are a few photos of our evening there:

Matt and Joe had a blast and they would love to go back again, Laura and I might bring bikes just in case we get brave enough to try some of the stuff out because it really did look like a lot of fun. Here is a link (Crook3d Tr33) to a video of our time there. Matt edited all the clips together that Laura and I filmed.

We left for home about noon on Monday and arrive by 5:30. We spend the evening watching a movie and relaxing before the work week started on Tuesday. We had a great time the entire weekend and we would like to go back. Thanks for being interested in Happenings in the Life of Joe and Haley Barrett!
