Summerfest, Storms, and Cell Phones

Last  night, we changed our cellular plan to a cheaper one.

We will be saving $60.00 per month and we won't be losing any of our services.

That, my friends is the good news.

After changing our plan, we celebrated with pizza and beers at Rosati's.  I had a gift card from a student so the meal was free.

We had a lot of reward points from U.S. Cellular, so we spend 3000 of them to buy Summerfest tickets.

We have not been to Summerfest for years so we were excited to go and see if we had missed anything over the years.

We got to Milwaukee about noon and found a nice, cheap parking lot about 8 blocks away.  It was actually a very beautiful summer day.

We decided to have lunch at Saz's right on the lake.  We sat outside and our view of the lake was so nice.

We ordered a sampler of pulled chicken, ribs, and brisket.

It was so yummy.

We were about halfway done with our meal when our waiter came over and told us that storm was moving in and it was due to hit in a few minutes.  He told us we should move into the covered part of the restaurant, so we did and just in the knick of time.

The rains came down so hard, it actually started running into the building and there was about six inches on the floor in one area near a clogged drain.

The workers had to pull up the cover and drill holes into it so the water could drain.

Never a dull moment at Summerfest.

After the rains stopped we ventured out and enjoyed some serious people watching while listening to a few bands.

All was going well, until I realized that I could not send any texts or make phone calls.

Something was wrong with my phone.

We decided it was time to head over to a U.S. Cellular store before they closed for the night to find out what had happened with this new cheaper plan.

We certainly did not want to be without service.

We headed over to Delafield, the closest store we knew of, had to wait the usual half hour, but the girl was able to find the problem and restore service to our phones.

Good news again, we still have the cheaper plan with all our services!

We ended our day at Culver's in Oconomowoc and then a walk around the lake.

It was a good day despite the cell phone fiasco.

It is never easy.
