MILWAUKEE MEMOIR
Mom and Dad arrived in Milwaukee on Friday May 17th for the Twelmeyer open house at the Twelmeyer home in Wauwatosa. It was a wonderful time to meet many Twelmeyer relatives, friends and neighbors. Saturday Mom and Dad were treated to a tour of Milwaukee including the architectural wonder Milwaukee Art Museum, a drive up the North Shore, custard at the famous Kopps, dinner that evening at the town's finest Germain restaurant all intermingled with a lot of lovely chatting . Mom and Dad did a little touring on their own from their lovely Bed and Breakfast which was just around the corner from Marquette University (who held their graduation this same weekend) and also the stately Captain Fredrick Pabst historic mansion. It was so fun at the B&B Rachel and Spencer joined Mom and Dad for breakfast on Monday. Spencer then directed the group to the historic Third Ward district of downtown. One more dish of custard then Rachel made it a threesome on the return to California so she could catch her flight to Thailand.

FYI - The video of the "gull wings" closing on the Milwaukee Art Museum is time lapse. The movement of the 72 steel fins in real time is almost imperceptible and takes several minutes.
