It's pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land."

For Rafe's birthday we went to Phoenix to see the Brewers take on the Arizona Diamondbacks, we left at 6am Friday morning and arrived in the warm weather around 4:00 that afternoon. I was so happy to get out of the car and not have to put on a jacket or be in a constant downpour, since Salt Lake doesn't seem to know what it means to have any sort of spring or warm weather. We went to the first game Friday night and sat in the upper deck, Chase Field is really cool, and it was nice enough to have the roof open for the game. The Brewers won the game 3 to 2, it was a really exciting game and afterwards there were fireworks. Saturday was so nice and we were able to lay out by the pool and swim for a little while before heading to the game that evening. My uncle we nice enough to let us have his tickets for Saturday's game, we were in the front row past the first base line. Thanks Lee! I was actually thinking we would be one of few Brewers fan's at the games but there were actually a lot of people in Milwaukee apparel; there was a couple that sat behind us Saturday that flew from Wisconsin.

The Brewers won that night too I think it was 17 to 3,one of the Brewers players even hit for the cycle, (which means he hit a single, double, triple, and a home run in one game, I had no idea what that even was before) so I consider our trip a complete success. We made it back to Salt Lake Sunday night with little excitement, except for the small matter of car sickness that I got while driving through some winding roads. We had a great time and hated coming back to rain and cold days.
