Urban Hikes: Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Saturday, May 2, 2015)

Milwaukee is an awesomely walkable city.  We arrived Friday evening, had a few drinks at the hotel bar, Envoy and then after perusing Yelp, walked around the corner to Conway's, a fun but divey bar. Saturday morning found us walking the Lakefront Trail with Starbucks coffee and scones we purchased in the hotel coffee shop.  We attribute the 70 degree temperatures this weekend to, for once, good fortune. What's really refreshing, however, is that the temperature drops ten to twenty degrees when you walk close to the lake.
