We left midday Wed to drive to Chicago. We went in the north way thru Milwaukee. Ken's latest favorite wine shop is just outside of Milwaukee, in the small town of Pewaukee. It is a shop called Two Brothers, but the first time we stopped we were told it was Two Brothers and a neighbor. We have talked to the neighbor and both brothers, and they are a riot. It is really enjoyable visiting with them. Both times we stopped - they were very interesting and socialable. This time we talked mostly to Joe, and he was a hoot - very funny.
A very small shop with a good assortment of wines at a very reasonable price. They even got a bottle of strawberry wine (we were told it was all sold out until they started bottleing it closer to Christmas, but he then told us that they had 3 bottles stashed away and sold one to us. He kept it hidden, just in case someone else came in).
After our visit to the wine shop we drove just south of Milwaukee and spent the night. When we asked for a good place to eat - the Quaker Steak was recommended, but we were also told it might be busy since it was "bike night" Busy??? We walked there (we were also going to stop at Target - and it was only a half mile walk), and there were so many bikes in the parking lot you could not even walk thru it - didn't know there were that many bikes in Wisconsin. The picture is only a very small part of the parking lot and there was a lot across the street that was full of bikes, and more bikes on the street heading in that direction. We didn't eat there.
We also made a stop in Greendale, WI where The Taste of Home Magazines are published. Ken stopped to visit with Norman Rockwell. We were in the historic area of Greendale - it a Mayberry type town with some really cute shops. And the weather was great.
On the road again - almost to Chicago - you can see the skyline of the buildings. And lots of cars.
Look our exit - we will be seeing Henry soon. He is 6 months old already. We haven't seen him for a couple months - do you think he will still remember us?
