weekend...part 2

Saturday we got up did yoga, took a shower and then headed out for our day. Our first stop was at the Pabst mansion. It was a beautiful mansion and we had our own personal tour guide going through the mansion. I really love seeing historical buildings. I am really glad it was one of our stops on the trip. Next we went to this little diner for lunch called Miss Katies and to meet Caitlin's friend Jen. The diner was ok. I have seen better ones and the food was not that good in my opinion. The onion loaf was good and I don't think Jen or Caitlin had had anything like it before. My hot turkey sandwich was not that tasty and dry. Jen and sexy seemed to like their food so maybe i just chose the wrong thing to eat. It was great talking with Jen and seeing her again. After lunch she drove sexy and I to the Milwaukee Public museum. After waiting in a long line to buy tickets we thought we were going to have an hour to rush through the museum but to our suprise the museum was going to stay open till 9 instead of 5 because of the body worlds exhibit. So, we planned what exhibits we wanted to see and started. We saw a lot at the museum and after 3 hours we were ready to move onto something else. Now it was time for my birthday dinner. Caitlin was taking me to a nice Indian restuarant. It was called Dancing Ganesha. Unfortunately, when we got there it wasn't there, but luckily there were other restuarants around. There just happened to be an indian restuarant right near there so i decided to go there. What a good choice that was. It was delicious. We ordered samosas and then we got the vegetarian dinner for two. I loved the veggie fried dumplings and the Chana Masala. Even the dessert was good, which rarely is at most of the indian restaurants we have been too. We were stuffed and we even had lots of food left over. It was way more food than two people could eat. We were stuffed and we headed back to the hotel. After relaxing for a few minutes we headed out the the Safe House. It is a spy themed "safe house" bar for spys. It wasn't hard to find but getting in was a bit more difficult. We didn't know the password so we instead had to sing "I'm a little teapot" in front of everyone in the whole place. once inside we walked around trying to find a place to sit. There were a lot of spys inside. We found a table and sat down and had a couple of spy drinks. We took sometime looking at all the neat spy stuff around. Then after walking around for a few minutes we found the exit. It was a nice themed bar but the drinks were a little pricey.....good but pricey! It was a neat experience and I would definitely take some friends there. We had a fun filled day.
