Day 7 - Milwaukee

We got up early, and drove down the coast of Lake Michigan in Milwaukee.  There is an amazing lakefront park, with a great walking/biking path.  We spent the morning walking along the lake, and then we went to lunch at the Water Street Brewpub... 
  
Next we visited the motherland.... The Planck Road Brewery, where they make America's best light beer - Miller High Life.  Greta was very, very excited about this!  

Then began a LONG ride home.  First there is construction pretty much from Milwaukee all the way to Chicago.  But Chicago also got about a million inches of rain, so the highway from Chicago to Indiana was flooded and closed.  So we had to drive around nowhere Illinois trying to find our way over to I-65, and then many of the hotels were full, so we had to drive an extra hour to find an vacancy... greta didn't think this was all that fun!  But we made it.
