Milwaukee Domes: A fun family day in the middle of winter!

This past weekend I went to the Milwaukee Domes….I haven’t been there in ages. It was just like I remembered them. The tropical dome was hot and muggy…no sun though…how I wish it was warm and sunny! The trains were running and they had little villages set up around the way. There were a ton of people just hanging out in there reading. It smelled so fresh and clean!

It didn’t take long to go through all 3 domes but it was a great afternoon! If you haven’t been there in awhile, its worth the trip for a few hours! Check it out at: http://www.county.milwaukee.gov/MitchellParkConserva10116.htm
