Surprise Birthday Trip to Milwaukee

On my birthday I got a card from Amanda that read "pack a bag, we're leaving at 9 am tomorrow morning". So, I had no idea where we were going or what we were to do when we got in the car the next morning (really exciting, I always know where I'm going).

An hour later, we were in Milwaukee. Amanda had gotten a room at a nice hotel, but first of all we went to the Milwaukee Art Museum, which had a great collection. We had a really good dinner, drinks, and brunch before heading back to Chicago.
