Mornin’ All,
Happy Friday, Happy (almost) Weekend, and Happy End of the Week!😃
It’s beginning to look a bit like winter…everywhere you go…
Snow. Wow. I shouldn’t be so surprised to see snow in January. But I am. And I’m loving it. Playtime!!! Beautiful white blanket of stuff that lets us do fun stuff we can’t do on bare grass!!! Skiing, snow shoeing, sledding, etc.!!!
Ok, I’m a weirdo when it comes to snow. Lots of people hate the stuff though. And for the haters…there’s always lots of Milwaukee indoor things to do. So without further ado, and in no particular order, here are a few Milwaukee weekend things to do (weekend of January 27th, 28th, and 29th):
