Mangia! Mangia!

We drove to Milwaukee, just to eat at Buca di Beppo. And it was worth the drive!

When we walked in there was a sign that said, "Love means... never having to say you're still hungry." I think I may have to learn to needlepoint, just so I can have a pillow with that on it.

A Day in Milwaukee

We visited the Mitchell Domes, fabulous botanical gardens.

I can't remember what it is, but isn't it amazing?! This is in the Tropical Dome.

Me and the kids in the Desert Dome.

Then we stopped at the Betty Brinn Children's Museum.

This was my favorite part, the Milwaukee Art Museum. I have never been in a more fascinating building. It was designed by Santiago Calatrava (his first US work), and is simply breathtaking.

Sculpture by Dale Chihuly, UW-Madison alum. I love his work.

If you are at all interested in architecture, and are in the Milwaukee area, I insist you stop by to experience this building. I can't explain the feeling, but it was inspiring. I can't wait to go back.
