I am thrilled it’s been in the 80s as it should for an August day…but today will probably be one of our last 90+ degree days. So not only will I count down till I am off work…I am debating on how to spend the afternoon & evening soaking up the sun….

Now granted Milwaukee doesn’t have pretty coordinated umbrellas along the beach….

No the water of Lake Michigan doesn’t always smell the best and it surely isn’t turquoise blue…

No our sand isn’t glitter or white…

But being down there with all the boats, hearing the waves crash against the rocks, the people renting jet skis, cabanas and those paddle boats brings me joy. It’s the best time of year here and the best thing about the city in my opinion…

How friggin romantic is this? All you need is some floating candles. This is too gorgeous…
