Since we had never visited the Milwaukee Art Museum<\/a> before we decided to take advantage of the program and check it out. It was… ok. I mean, I’m not a huge fan of some of the stuff that constitutes art (some of it is actually downright creepy), but there was enough to hold our interest for about two hours.

I was a bit bummed to learn that their famous meatloaf and mac & cheese isn’t available until after 4pm on the weekends, so we had to settle for sandwiches which were just ok. The cupcake we took to go was pretty damn good, however – chocolate cake with a thick almond frosting.
