Chicago, Part 1...working in Wisconsin

The next trip that my wife and I took was to Chicago. I had to go for work and the trip began in Milwaukee. We stayed at the Comfort Suites Airport because they had upgraded me to a suite other times I stayed there. Well, all of the suites were taken when we were ready to check in. But, the deskclerk asked if we wanted the presidential suite. Sure, why not. So, we took it. As we entered the room, there was a large king size bed in the first room and big screen TV. In that same room was a little kitchenette. A hallway, which was where the bathroom was, led to the "living room" which had a couch, loveseat, easychair and another TV. Beyond that was a doorway to the balcony that overlooked the indoor pool. I was kind of dissappointed since this was the same as all of the other suites that I had stayed in before, what made it "the presidential suite." As I went into the living room, I saw french doors where the wall should be. There was another room. This room was larger than the normal suite. Inside was another king size bed, big screen TV and a 4 person jacuzzi, not one of those bathtub things but a full size jacuzzi. Attached to this room was another bathroom. This bathroom was about the size of a normal hotel room. It had a two person walk in shower, a bathtub, a seperate room for the toilet, and a ten foot long countertop with two sinks. Seriously, two and a half hotel rooms at least. So, enough about the hotel room...

We spent two nights in Milwaukee. I had to work and drove to several work locations between Milwaukee and Green Bay. While I was at work, my wife took the bus downtown Milwaukee to check out the Milwaukee Public Museum and some other locations downtown. I think it was a great warmup for Chicago. That night we went to eat at MOCEANS, a trendy place that had opened shortly before our trip. While I dont remember what we ate, I do remember the desert. My wife loves creme brulee. I hate creme brulee. But, MOCEANS offered a regular creme brulee and a chocolate creme brulee. Perfect for sharing.

The next day I had to work in Cuba City, Wisconsin. That is way down on the southwest corner of Wisconsin. So, we took a road trip. My work only took two hours, so we went "downtown" Cuba City and checked out some antique stores and ate at a local diner, Nick's Cafe. Had to get cheese curds and they didnt dissappoint. Cuba City is known as the City of Presidents. Check them out online at http://www.cubacitywi.com/. We left Cuba City and drove back to Chicago, starting our 4 day weekend in the windy city.
