The Hagley's, Hormuth's and Burns's got to experience Milwaukee and Irish Fest last weekend! It was a blast! Friday Mike, Christina, Kyla and Kevin made the road trip to Milwaukee and Scott and I jumped on the Lake Express Ferry and took that over to Milwaukee. The ferry was a first time experience for both Scott and I and it was overall rather enjoyable. Definitely better than the 6.5 hour car drive it would have been. The ferry only took 2.5 hours, there was a movie, food and cocktails!
After we arrived we tried to hit up the Lakefront Brewery tour but that wasn't going to happen because it was packed. Shortly there after we headed to Mo's Irish Pub, to keep with the theme of the weekend, plus I was starving! Mo's was a lot of fun and we got to see Michael Phelp's win his 7th gold! The entire bar was cheering!
On Saturday after we got ready we headed to Irish Fest around 12:30 pm. It was the begining of a great but long day. Many beers (wine for me) we headed home to get ready for dinner. The guys, ok mostly my wonderful husband, were a little how should I describe it, drunk. As you can see by the pictures...
After the girls cleaned up, because the guys had no desire to do so, we headed to the Capital Grill for a very nice ($$$) dinner. After dinner we headed to the Miller pub for those who still needed to keep drinking and then called it a night.
The orange shark in the pictures is Jackpot. He was our companion after Kevin won him in the arcade Saturday morning. Jackpot fit in rather well with the group.
Overall, Irish Fest was a great time and it looks like we will be going back next year because we won 4 tickets to Irish Fest 2009!!
I will be posting more pictures once I get them from Kyla..
