Milwaukee!

Milwaukee was so much fun! We called it Diet Chicago, because it was a lot like Chicago, but without a lot of the stress. The street names are the same, the architecture is similar, and it is cold. Driving and parking was easy, and we had very little trouble navigating around. It was great! Milwaukee is also a great place for being a vegan! So much to choose from! Here are some select digital pictures from our trip:

The first place we stopped was Alterra Coffee. It was so cool! It had great vegan choices and a nice atmosphere.

Derek got this breakfast sandwich.

I got this baked oatmeal. It was so good!

Alterra on the Lake used to be a water treating facility, but now it is a really rad coffee shop. We were trying to show how deep the floor was.

This was our tour of the Lakefront Brewery. It was kind of lame, but we had fun. Beer tastes pretty gross to me, but I didn't tell them that.

From the hotel

The Palomino--the best vegan bar food everrrrrr.

Milwaukee (out of order)

Barbecued seitan and tots at the Palomino. Totally vegan!

Rib sandwich and mashed potatoes. Vegan again.

The Milwaukee Public Museum. We saw the Dead Sea Scrolls. It was alright. The best thing about the museum was the butterfly room!

This eagle landed on Derek.

I met this cat named Scraps. She really reminded me of Gran. Also she reminded me of Bailey and Kirby if they fused into one cat.

At the Comet Cafe, we had a lovely vegan brunch. This was mine- vegan biscuits and gravy with a tofu scramble and hash browns. It was so good!

Derek's Vegan Benedict. It was just like mine, except there was a little vegan sausage on top. It was also very good.

Derek checking out the assortment of Wisconsin cheese. Although I was a dedicated vegan during the trip, we got some cool cheese slices to take home and make sandwiches.

Another shot of the indoor market.

It was a very nice, interesting, and relaxing weekend. We had a great time and I would like to go back.
