Be a tourist in your own town !!

I grew up here in the Waukesha county area.... and I moved away for 3 years. Just came back home January....

One of the major things I learned (well, there was a number of things), was that you should be a tourist in your own town. Pretend like you've never been to the area. Look up info on this wonderful internet... Go to places you haven't been to for a while.

You only live once :)
Enjoy life.
Get out and do things !!

It surprised me to hear from people that grew up in the area, that they had never been to places like the Arch... the City Museum... etc. There are LOTS of great places to visit there.
But, the same goes for everywhere. Sometimes you just have to look.
I found a great list from OnMilwaukee.com, here.
Take a peek.

Some of my fav's:
Miller Park
The Safe House ..Do YOU know the password :)
Holy Hill
The Public Museum, the ART Museum.
The ZOO
Botanical Gardens
Harley Davidson Museum
North Point Lighthouse
Discovery World
And don't forget... Milwaukee is the beer capitol of the world:
-- Brewery tours.

Fun for the whole family !!

Something that isn't real close, but VERY cool -
have you ever been to the House on the Rock.
It is a WHOLE DAY adventure. Highly recommended.

And HERE is a list of attractions ALL OVER Wisconsin.

We live in a great area, ENJOY IT !! :)
