Friday Along the Lake

It was a bit of a challenge to figure out just exactly where to go and what was going on. The entire Celebration event consisted of multiple venues in a variety of locations along the Milwaukee lake front. While the setting was incredibly beautiful and there were a lot of things to take in, it was a little confusing trying to get a handle on it all.

We decided to spend some of our day exploring the lake front areas from well south of the city to the near north side communities. What a awesome experience that turned out to be. Will have to give the overall Milwaukee communities credit for what a beautiful setting for the entire city. Was really impressed with the number of parks located along the lake. They provide a lot of locations for people to enjoy awesome parks in picturesque lake shore settings.



Our decision to explore the area was apparently a popular one. There was a lot of others out doing the same thing. The ample supply of shore line made it possible for many of us to be out and about and yet it seemed there was no threat of congestion.


Scenes like the one above were found in various forms throughout the Milwaukee neighborhoods. While we did not stop and partake of their apparent generosity, they certainly did convey a strong sense of hospitality. We did eventually make our way down to the lake front areas were some of the 105th venues were being held. After lots and lots of walking and looking and seeking and searching, we were finally able to find some information to better help figure out what the overall layout of the celebration was. By this time we were exhausted, but we did have a strategy for the next day.
