We are already in city #5!!

Time is flying right by! I didn't have a good Internet connection in the last hotel I was at, so I couldn't blog! So, if Green Bay is where I left off, that would mean Milwaukee was next. I loved Milwaukee! The city was really fun, our hotel was beautiful and in a great downtown location. They had a river walk that was lined by cute shops and restaurants, and the Bronze Fonz!!! (Apparently I'm hitting all the Nick at Nite TV icon statue's on the tour!) We went out to this place called The Safe House, it is a "secret agent" themed bar/ restaurant that you have to give a password to get in. We gave them the password that we found online, however we made the mistake of telling the doorkeeper we'd never been there, so they made us dance around like chickens for 15 seconds just to get in! The funny thing is that inside this place there are video cameras and screens posted up all over, so people inside can actually watch the people outside doing the crazy things to get in! Once we were inside, we watched our musical director, drummer, and other band members give an outstanding performance doing the hula on the monitor. Also, when we were ready to leave, we went upstairs to a vacant phone booth- put in a quarter to dial the operator- she gave us a code to type in the phone- and presto, a secret door opened and we exited through a dark hallway! It was so fun! Fun theme idea!
I had my rotated day off in Milwaukee, so I went to see the show that night because I'd not seen it yet....it was so fun to watch my own cast and see how the show really looks! It was amazing! I loved it! It also snowed one night when we were in Milwaukee, just a really light flurry, but it was so beautiful the way it hit all the lights downtown. Here are some fun pics of my 4 days in Milwaukee.....




Thumbs up for Milwaukee and the Bronze Fonz!

Secret Agent Lindsay-calling for next assignment! In the phone booth at The Safe House.


This is from our last night in Milwaukee. We went out to dessert at The Capital Grill and this is what our waiter brought out for us! We were having a hard time deciding because everything sounded so yummy....so he brought us a whole spread. There are 2 coconut cream pies with wafer cookies, creme brulee, chocolate hazelnut cake, and the best cheesecake I've ever had!
