Not California!
Not New York!
Center of the United States and north :)
We love it!
People are friendly and warm, we have four beautiful seasons, and it's truly a hidden gem!
For us, and hopefully our au pairs, it's our home (and second home!)
Milwaukee is an easy city to get around and unlike a larger city like LA, or New York, you will not sit in hours of traffic to get to another part of the city. It is a large city with a population 600,000 and including the metro area, there is a total of 1.5 million people who call Milwaukee home. You will find restaurants, concerts, bars, clubs to dance, and several universities. Chicago is only an hour away from us and if you want a quick adventure, there is a bus or train that will take you directly to downtown Chicago for the weekend.
Let's explore Milwaukee!!

In the winters our family skis at one of the smaller local ski hills. We are typically there every Saturday from January through March and all of our au pairs have learned to ski there.
Summerfest is a yearly summer music festival at the heart of Milwaukee that runs over 2-3 weekends in July. For one ticket you can watch many different bands, enjoy the summer with friends and hop between stages throughout the night.
Summer is beautiful, winter brings snow, but there is nothing like seeing the leaves change color in the fall
Milwaukee's summers are filled with festivals of celebration: Summerfest, Germanfest, Bastille days, Festa Italiana, Pride fest, Irish Fest and the list goes on
If you love to be outside, there is no shortage of campgroups or hiking trails. Although this video is about camping, it shows how beautiful the midwest is!
Our winters never keep us inside!
