Milwaukee Spring Break: Day 3
- Jamie has morning coffee at Discourse Coffee.
- Brunch at Blue’s Egg.
- Milwaukee Zoo. Rainy and pretty quiet.
- Big Putt’s Mini Golf β very well done course with a lot of fun holes. Jamie got four “hole in ones”.
- Attempted to see Call Me Dancer at the Oriental Theatre but the theater was closed. π«
- Milwaukee Public Market for choose your own dinner: Freese’s Candy Shoppe, Foltz Family Market, C. Adam’s Bakery, and West Allis Cheese & Sausage Shoppe. Olive Oil for home from Oro Di Oliva.
- Battle House Laser Combat. Tyler and Jamie were on Blue Team with more players and won most of the games.

All of us were very sad that the Oriental Theatre water and heat were out of order.
We wrapped the day with 2 hours of tactical laser tag at Battle House Laser Combat tonight. We were split up on different teams. Tammy was excited to get into battle!

It was cool and rainy so a trip to Big Putts Mini Golf was perfect. We arrived and the place was packed, but after the first few holes things moved along well. We loved the course β declared it probably our favorite mini golf ever. And I crushed it with a 35 along with four hole-in-ones! β³οΈπ₯

A cold morning with drizzling rain isn’t the ideal day to see the Milwaukee Zoo but we still made the most of it.

Tammy and I saw Brett Goldstein’s standup show “The Second Best Night of Your Life” at the Riverside Theater while in Milwaukee. Goldstein is best known for playing Roy Kent on Ted Lasso. Many good laughs and a great venue.

Tyler in Flight Simulator
While on Milwaukee Spring Break we took a short drive 40 miles south to Gurnee, Illinois to visit Extreme Flight Simulation. Tyler wanted to try a real flight simulator and EFS has a 737-800 simulator that you can do a “no experience” session with a co-pilot. Tyler had a blast. I was a little jealous that I didnβt get to fly it myself. Below are some videos of the experience.
