Day 24

     What a fun day yesterday was.  I've realized that being down here can be pretty expensive and that I have to take advantage of the free or discounted stuff when I can.  TWIK has always been much more money conscience than me.  That's why she is such a fan of Groupon.  But yesterday I did pretty well.   Below are the pictures to prove it, free day at the Chicago MCA, while walking to Burrito Beach for lunch I was handed some Chicago Blend, put on my temp tattoo and scored a free burrito bowl, and then walked to Sprinkle's for a free cupcake (which I gave to TWIK).  Besides paying for a Diet Coke at BB, I didn't have to open my wallet ~ winning!  (too 4 months ago?)

All I had to do was wear a temporary tattoo.

"People Like Us".

   

     Then I went back to the apartment and waited for the boarding time for our Lake Michigan dinner cruise on the Mystic Blue.  We had a Groupon!!  It was very fun; good food, the staff falls all over you and we had nearly perfect weather.

     Today we traded in Chicago for Milwaukee to attend the opening day of Summerfest.  It's not a bad drive and TWIK had the day off so we exercised a little and then drove up to Wisconsin.  We had free tickets from a radio promotion last month.  The food was so so, basic state fair fare.  But the music was good.  I used to be amazed by all of the tattoos that I see whenever I go to Milwaukee, but it's not any different from down here anymore so NBD.  I'm posting a video of a guy that was really awesome.
