Milwaukee Mini-Trip!! (a bit wordy-no camera till next week boo)

This weekend was absolutely amazing! Started it off with the best dinner at Kampai with Joey on Friday (that boy might be a little too obsessed with that place...lol) and then a night out in Rosemont with him and Allie which started out as just a few drinks, not a late night or anything but of course i dont even remember leaving and also spent a good amount of time throwing up (maybe the 2 glasses of wine, sake, and 3-5 shots we took before even getting to the bar had a little something to do with this)...Joey was an absolute saint and sat with me in the bathroom though and did what he could to help me feel better and i owe him for that!! :) and then Saturday me and him left for Milwaukee around 1pm for our overnight stay in a haunted penthouse!! We got into town and to The Great Lakes Distillery by 230. The tour we were taking was at 4 so we got some drinks (bloody marys with crazy skewers of picked green beans, cheese, meat sticks, and what not and he also got a reeeally good moscow mule) Part of the tour was a tasting at the end with 7 different and i was still a little hungover so i was a little nervous for that but it all went down okay! then we headed over to Rock Bottom for dinner and that also was amazing, their also a brewery so we had a few drinks there, also had a drink at High Hat before going to Shakers (the whole point of the trip!) The thing with Shakers was that i thought the name "Shakers Cigar Bar" was just a name...nope...its a cigar bar...with cigars...and smoke. Greeeeeeat. It was a CF death trap! The smoke hit me like a pile of bricks as soon as i walked into the place but we decided to get our drinks and i sucked it up, we got 2 absinthe cocktails which werent terrible but also werent that great haha and then got 2 other cocktails which were delicious and started the tour! It was really creepy in the basement very dark and just had a weird feel to it! They did some sort of thing with these two rods and started asking questions and then the rods would move it was weird hahaha. When we finally checked in a little after 11 we were both a little tired and i was scared and Joey didnt wanna piss the ghosts off also the room was FREEZING hahaha so not much actual ghost hunting was done and i insisted he stay right next to me the whole night (i may or may not have even had him go into the bathroom with me while i went pee lmao) We felt bad cause a girl at the bar gave us these two drink that were like 25 a piece and didnt charge us and we couldnt even do it..couldnt drink them lol. I have yet to listen to the digital voice recorder that i brought but im not sure theres anything on it..we only used it for a little bit. Didnt see anything crazy and heard a few knocks and sweeping sounds but that really couldve been from anything so all in all it was fairly uneventful and we headed back this morning just stopping at cracker barell and a WI cheese shop cause both felt pretty bad. Im not sure id do it again because the smoke really took a toll on my lungs and i was really hurting today and im now suuuuper dependent on my oxygen and my health is worth more than a redo stay in a haunted penthouse but i did have an amazing time with a really really amazing guy and im so glad we went :) Were gonna watch the pro bowl in a little bit over here and then get some much needed sleep! I hope everyone had a great weekend as well!!!
