Milwaukee

Jake and I found out yesterday that he matched to MCW in Milwaukee for his intern year and residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation.  We'll be moving out there in June.  Milwaukee was his first choice for both intern and residency.  We're super excited to be moving to one of our favorite cities.  I could probably write a whole book about all of the things that I love about Milwaukee and/or am looking forward to in Milwaukee, but I chose a few to share with you (for now...I'm sure I will continue to share lots of other Milwaukee things in the future).

Milwaukee doesn't have an amazing skyline, but I love the look of almost any downtown.

The Milwaukee Art Museum.  The inside is pretty cool, too, but it's worth going to just for the outside.  It's right by the lake, too.  We're very excited about being close to Lake Michigan again.

The Wisconsin State Fair is held in Milwaukee.  We've been to the Iowa State Fair twice since we've been out here and will definitely be hitting the Wisconsin State Fair.

The Milwaukee County Zoo.  We love visiting zoos and have been to zoos in a handful of different cities.

And of course, art festivals!  Milwaukee is the home of about a million different summer festivals, included a lot of art festivals like the Milwaukee Art Museum Lakefront Festival of Arts.  Currently I'm not signed up for any art festivals because I didn't know where we would be living after this spring.  Now that I do now, I can start scouting for the summer/fall!

    Congrats. I love Milwaukee (and miss it at times). And MCW is a great place to work (I worked in their pathology department before I came to UW-Madison). If you ever want a list of great restaurants, just ask! :-)

    I am SO happy for you! Your first pick! WOW!! I'd love to go to Milwaukee - you have just put that city on my "places to visit" list! Nice to hear Jake is into physical medicine and rehabilitation - sounds like he'll be helping a lot of vets {:-D

    Thanks so much Anitra and Deb! You should definitely visit sometime if you can, Deb. Jake hasn't decided what aspect of PM&R he'll be pursuing, but it is entirely possible that he'll be doing a lot of VA work.

    Rose, I grew up in a suburb of Milwaukee, and we visit my dad there regularly, since he is lives in an assisted living facility. There is a lot to do in that city. I'm so glad Jake got his first choice. You two have lots of things to be excited about!
