Day 9: My Tired Feet

Milwaukee, WI: Day 2 of the local festivities

Today was a full day of walking. We started our day with a visit to Harley's new museum, another fantastically, amazing sight. Lots of cool things see, read and learn about. You could spend hours or maybe even days in order to see everything. Kerrie and Troy participated in a focus group study about hand control modifications. Kerrie's comment was, "I don't want to buy a BMW. I want a Harley." I don't think she was very pleased with the set-up they were testing.

We came back to the hotel and walked down to the waterfront to check out some of the 105th festivities. We also walked through the Discovery World, which was pretty cool. Milwaukee is a beautiful city, other than the not so pretty part of the city we found ourselves in earlier this evening when we pulled into a local gas station to fill up. When a couple of cops sitting in their car told Robyn and I that they were going to hang out until we left so that they could watch our backs, we quickly helped Laura write her mileage down and got out of there.

Tomorrow we have to be up before the buttcrack of dawn and head back over to Miller Park. Harley needed more volunteers for the big parade tomorrow (7500 bikes) so our group jumped to the call. We have to meet up at 5 am which means wake up at 4 am, ugh. I need to hit the sack.
