The Domes

Once again, "HOORAY" for something to do.  Milwaukee has the Mitchell Park Domes that is free on Mondays to county residents.  Can't beat free.  They just happened to have a cute little garden circus train set up this last Monday.  I dragged Peanut away from the Wii long enough to go take a peak.

It was pretty cute and reminded me of the cool garden train at the Colorado Railroad Museum.  (If you've never been, you should go.)  So I missed Colorado and all it's awesomeness for a bit.  I tried to cheer myself up with a few clowns.

And that wasn't totally effective so we headed to the desert.  The warmth of the desert was nice.  But reminded me of hiking in Utah (when we lived in Colorado and could visit much more easily).

So we went to the rainforest where it was very warm and noisy from the waterfall.  The wonderful warm air made me long for summer and the waterfall reminded me of the beautiful waterfall at Rifle Falls State Park in Colorado.

So it sounds like I was a pile of pathetic the whole time.  I really wasn't.  Peanut and I enjoyed our time out of the house and being warm without a coat on.  But after about an hour he informed me that this was too much walking and he was ready to go home.  Well, you would be tired too if you had gone from the garden to the desert to the rainforest all in the course of an hour.
