Milwaukee, Wisconsin - Day 4

We had a blast today cycling all over downtown.  We biked through Veteran's Park, scored a Geocache, then visited the Milwaukee Art Museum and viewed the exhibit, "Van Gogh to Pollock, Modern Rebels". It was impressive!  I love being surrounded by Chagall, Matisse, Dali, Kandinsky, Miro, and Van Gogh! The museum itself was a work of art, absolutely stunning!  Spending the day surrounded by amazing art and architecture, then returning to our beautiful live aboard boat, while doing the Great Loop, with "my guy and G-Man" is my kind of perfect day!  Life is good!  This is a sampling of what's ahead for us as we visit the Art Institute of Chicago over the next few weeks! Major bucket list for me!

We had a great lunch then toured St. John's Cathedral. As we entered the Cathedral the pipe organ was being played and the beautiful music filled the Cathedral! That was a special treat!
