Our Tour de Midwest, A Soliloquy in 3 Parts; P3

From Rochester, accompanied by Dale's mom we drove out to Minneapolis to stay with Dale's Aunt Bugs, Uncle Eric, and cousin Betsy (but sans cousin Max, unfortunately :( ) in Plymouth. We had so much amazing food (can you say fried walleye sandwiches on the lakefront on a gorgeous sunny day?) & awesome company...among didgeridoos, Westies, al fresco capreses, Jucy Lucys, and long talks about anything in particular, we had an amazing time and were able to finally recharge our batteries...thank you times a million, Plymouth Peterschmidts!

Although Dale was very sad to see her mom go home, the following day we made it through several tornado warnings over to Milwaukee to stay with Jimmy's cousin Chloe, who is attending a very prestigious art school in the city. We stayed in her very cool house which was relatively close to the downtown area, and had our first real experiences with cheese curds & Milwaukee beer (a combination that is so good you will cry). Chloe was the awesomest tour guide ever, and we had two days of art museums, weird anime pizza places named after sexual organs, jazz in the park at sunset, swimming, scary movies, furniture moving, a beautiful downtown and creepy dolls...thank you so much, Chloe...we'll see you in a week!

Currently in the AMAZING city of Chicago, with updates to come!
