Milwaukee Day 1

I think the most succesful part of our trip was the fact I learned how to spell Milwaukee! (It's hard!) 

Last weekend Angel and I traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin (or Wiscahhhnson depending on where you're from). 

My adventure started before I left Naperville actually. I walked to the train station and planned on taking the metra to the city where Angel works because it's on the way to Milwaukee. I show up at the train station and they announce my train is canceled, but the next train (coming 15 minutes later) is going to stop at the first trains stops. Okay, no big deal just 15 minutes. The train arrives and I get on. Once it starts to move the ticket taker comes around and I say "I'm going to Hinsdale". He says, "This train is not stopping in Hinsdale, you better get off in Lisle and catch the next one." What???? I hurry off the train. It's not until after I get that I realized the dumb ticket taker probably just didn't know that this train was following the previous trains schedule.  So I should have just stayed on! Oh well, too late for that. I check the next train schedule in Lisle and the next train isn't coming for an hour and half! There was no way I was waiting for that, so I called Angel at work and while he finished work I waited in a coffee shop. 

After that train debacle I was pleasantly surprised that it only took an hour and forty five minutes to arrive in Milwaukee.

After we checked in to our hotel we went to one of Angel's favorite restaurants in Milwaukee, Saz's. It was good, but I don't think it is one of my FAVORITE restaurants....

I can't get this picture to flip around...sorry!
