Wisconsin is a state in the United States known for its natural beauty, friendly people, and unique culture. One of the main reasons I love Wisconsin is because of its shopping options, including Johnson Creek Outlet Mall and Mayfair Mall. Also, Milwaukee is the largest city in the state and has quickly become one of my favorite places to visit thanks to its vibrant downtown, unique architecture, and of course, Milwaukee's pride and joy: the Milwaukee Bucks.

Johnson Creek Outlet Mall is one of the best shopping destinations for people looking for great deals on shoes, and clothes from top brands: Nike, Adidas, Tommy Hilfiger, Polo Ralph Lauren, and more. The mall features a wide range of stores, including designer fashion outlets, home decor shops, and much more. you can find everything from clothing and shoes to electronics and accessories at the mall, all at discounted prices. For me, Johnson Creek Outlet Mall is the perfect place to shop for gifts, clothing, or home decor items without breaking the bank. My favorite stores are Nike Clearance store, Adidas, Tommy Hilfiger, and Coach. I think it's best to go during the spring or summertime when the weather is the nicest because it's an outdoor mall but I go year-round with my friends. 

Mayfair Mall, that's in Wauwatosa, is another popular shopping place in Wisconsin. This huge mall features over 180 stores, including department stores, specialty shops, and restaurants. There is also an AMC movie theater if you ever get tired of shopping, it is a very nice theater and they have good deals. At Mayfair, I like to go to ENZO and Icon. They are my favorite clothing stores. I love shopping with them because they have the best streetwear around! My favorite places to eat there are Maad Chicken and Auntie Annes. At Maad Chicken I get the Chicken Sandwich meal with the fries and a fruit punch. They give you so many fries sometimes I don't even finish them. I also get their signature sauce “the Maad Sauce”.

Apart from the two malls mentioned above, Wisconsin has much more to offer that makes it a favorite destination for shoppers. From local boutiques like Mainstream Boutique and Sugar Rushlow Boutique to farmer’s markets like Elegant Farmer and Weston’s, there is always something new and exciting to discover in Wisconsin. Visitors and residents alike enjoy exploring the unique shops and businesses found throughout the state. 

In the summer, I love spending time on the state's many lakes. I like hiking, biking, and camping at Devil’s Lake or Nashotah Park. In the winter months, I ski and sometimes icefish. During the summer of last year, I went to Devils Lake with my girlfriend (Olivia), Ty, and Kaiya. It was a good experience. The trails were confusing, but I loved it. Devil Lake has a food place located in the park so if you get tired and hungry. You can go to the store and get something to eat like burgers, hotdogs, smoothies, soda, etc. During the middle of the hike up the mountain, the girls got super tired. So we found the nearest bench and sat there for like 20-30 minutes. Once we were done resting, we continued up the mountain. Once we got to the top, we were so happy. The amount of joy and excitement you get when you are at the top is unexplainable.

Aside from shopping, there is something truly special about experiencing the energy of a live basketball game. Whether you're a die-hard sports fan or just enjoying a night out with friends or family, attending a Milwaukee Bucks game is an unforgettable experience. I love going to the Bucks game. The energy is just unmatchable, especially when it's close. The newly constructed Fiserv Forum is a state-of-the-art arena that boasts an amazing atmosphere that is sure to get any sports fan excited. There's nothing quite like watching the Bucks take on their opponents, watching a concert and singing along with artists, or going to another sporting event there. After the game, be sure to take a walk through downtown Milwaukee to fully immerse yourself in the local culture. Milwaukee's unique architecture like the Milwaukee City Hall, U.S Bank Center, and the Kilbourn Towers are sights to behold on their own, and there is no better way to appreciate it than by walking through the city streets. The Historic Third Ward is a must-visit area for anyone interested in things like old brick buildings, clothing, and art. Here, you'll find a lot of galleries, boutiques, cafes, and live music venues that will cater to all tastes and preferences. Now that I told you my favorite things to do, why don't you go try them?
