Milwaukee Half-Day Trip ๐ŸŒ†

This weekend, an "unexpected detour" brought me near Milwaukee, so I decided to spend half a day exploring. The weather shifted from sunny to cloudy, then overcast โ„๏ธโ€ฆ I walked over 10,000 steps and only got colder as the day went on. My biggest takeaway? Milwaukee feels so quiet! ๐Ÿ™๏ธ Aside from a few people in downtown, areas along the river, near the lighthouse, and in the parks were almost empty โ€” just a handful of folks here and there. Even with fancy apartments overhead, it felt like a ghost town ๐Ÿ‘ปโ€ฆ The trail from McKinley Park to Government Pier is about a mile long, and I only ran into two people and one dog ๐Ÿ•. Hard to believe it was a Saturday in April! For lunch, I went to St. Paul ๐Ÿฆž Since I donโ€™t come often, I over-ordered (knowing Iโ€™d take leftovers). The ingredients were fresh, but overall, it was just okay. ๐Ÿฆž Lobster Roll: The bread wasnโ€™t buttery or soft, the fries were dry. The lobster itself was crisp, but itโ€™s no match for my all-time favorite GT Fish & Oyster (RIP ๐Ÿ˜ข). ๐Ÿฒ Clam Chowder: Pretty watery โ€” glad I only got a cup. ๐ŸŸ Fried Walleye: Meant to order cod, but the server recommended walleye. The fish itself was tasty, but it was overcooked. ๐Ÿ… Bouillabaisse: Maybe Iโ€™m just not into seafood in tomato soupโ€ฆ plus the broth was way too salty. Not a total win food-wise, but still glad I wandered around โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฃ Has anyone else been to Milwaukee? Whatโ€™s your take? #DayTrip #Milwaukee #TravelDiary #ExploreWI #FoodReview
