Downtown adventuring

[glacier_kitty]

Today was the celebration of the June birthdays (mine, mom's, grandpa's). First we went to the Milwaukee Public Museum. They had science exhibits, exhibits from different countries, etc. It was honestly rather boring. We also saw a short film about ocean life at the IMAX theater. It was pretty cool. They closed before we saw everything though. And it kept reminding me of Night at the Museum. :P We had time to kill before going to a restaurant (we had a reservation) so we walked by the Milwaukee River. They wouldn't tell us about the restaurant so it was a surprise haha. We walked into this alley and saw a sign that said something and Ron was like "what's this? Let's go in?" We did and this guy greeted us and was like "hi! To make sure you're not enemy spies you'll need to tell us the password! Do you know the password?" and we were like "uh..no" so he told us to stand against the back wall and do a chicken dance. We did (except me..I just stood there horrified haha) and then he let us in. Turns out that was the restaurant and Ron was just feigning ignorance about wondering what is was and the password haha (I think they wanted us to experience everything :P). There's a camera so while you're eating you can watch the people coming in doing ridiculous things. :P The restaurant was obsessed with James Bond and spy stuff in general (they referred to the customers as agents haha). It was pretty cool and interesting. You even left by a secret door..you had to find it and put a quarter in a pay phone thing and it told you a code to put in which opened the door. Then you walked through a tunnel thing. Coool haha. Then we went home

Those strawberries look AMAZING...*DROOL* I want some!

That restaurant sounds pretty cool and unique haha...I probably would also stand there in horror if asked to do the chicken dance in order to get in hahaha. :P

The pictures of the pond with the swans are so beautiful. Cute little swan babies! The butterfly exhibit thing also looks awesome! I've always wanted to go into one of those.
