I'll admit I've been slacking by a couple of days- so I'm finally going to post about my trip to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Welcome to the land of beer and cheese!
Unlike our last travel day, the one to Milwaukee was very short- three hours was a much better time to spend on a bus! Shortly after arriving, I spent my evening at a yoga class. Yama Yoga was an adorable and inviting studio, and keeping up with my practice was a nice welcome to a new city.
Friday was my first full day off in about a week. As someone who isn't too fond of mornings, I took full advantage of sleeping in and not starting my day until it was basically the afternoon. Our hotel was connected to another hotel and a shopping center through multiple skywalk tunnels- considering how awfully cold it was outside, I enjoyed being able to explore the local area without ever having to come near it! To be honest, there was nothing too interesting in the immediate area. Obviously, better weather would've given me more of an incentive to explore. But my day still ended on a super fun note- I went to my first NBA game! As most people who really know me probably know, sports are NO WHERE near my forte. It's lucky if I know what sport it is and what teams are playing (yes, I know NBA means basketball, and the Milwaukee Bucks played the Miami Heat). My only experience with sports was playing kiddie soccer in first grade, and when asked to dribble ball, guess who was the only one of the field using their hands...yep, two thumbs up for this girl right here. I'm glad I realized at a young age that sports weren't my calling! And while the official logistics of sports are something I'll probably never understand, I truly enjoyed going to the game- I had a blast! My friends and I participated in all of the corny dances and cheers, and I was able to get my usual soft serve ice cream (priorities, people). I think one of the coolest things about being on tour is all of the random experiences I would've never thought I'd have- ME, of all people, going to a professional basketball game?! I guess I can cross it off the bucket list!
Our weekend was full of shows as usual, but we hit a huge milestone- we celebrated our 100th show! I've done shorter, theme park shows hundreds of times I'm sure (I never actually counted, though I wish I did), so this is also the first full length show that I've ever done this substantial amount of times. It's amazing to think how far myself and the entire company has come since show number one- I'm also amazed at the muscle memory I've been able to retain! It's particularly helpful when my brain has slow days but my body is able to keep up...but of course, I'd never actually admit to that (wink).
In all, my visit to Milwaukee was short, cold, and still sweet, and it was neat to see a little of what Wisconsin is famous for (seriously, beer logos were everywhere, breweries were on every corner, and silly places sold cheese hats like they're going out of style). I'll be coming back to the state soon, but until then, it's on to the next- St. Louis, Missouri! I've heard some good buzz about this city so far, so I'm excited to see what adventures happen next!

My first NBA Game!
Another shot of the game, and the home team won!
Kelsey, Ramiro and I met some of the Dance Team! (We could've joined them if they needed back-up)
But OBVIOUSLY, the most important thing was seeing that my girl Tay- Tay performed at this arena and signed the poster in the window!
Quite a celebration!
