I would assume you are heading to Summerfest http://www.summerfest.com/music/summerfestdaily.htm. A good time just waiting to happen. Have fun.

Yes, get down to the Lakefront and check out Summerfest; it's the world's largest music festival and you won't need to worry about finding any other place to eat. Also, the Miller Brewery tour is just east of the Capitol Drive Harley Plant.

If your coming thru on Sat. Racine Harley is having their open house. Hwy 20 exit (exit number 337 I believe or something real close to it). Go East about 4 miles. Located on the left side of the road.

Well, if you're music lovers, Summerfest IS the place to be! It may cause yous two to not want to leave the Festival grounds for any reason! But in case you do, here's me couple penny's worth.......
The Mitchell Park Domes (botanical gardens - 3 domes - 1 desert, 1 tropical, 1 "Show" - BEAUTIFUL lookin', smellin', w/ indigenous birds chirpin' - watch out, though, they may poo on you
)
Potawotami Casino (for gamblers, but you gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, etc.
)
Miller Park (for fans of America's past-time - the Brewers have a home stand starting July 3 - then you can see the famous, "featured on an ESPN commercial" Sausages mascots race during the 7th inning stretch! - it's frickin' hilarious! - it's impossible for life to be complete w/o seeing the Sausages!)
County Zoo (just a bit south down the freeway from the Capitol Dr. Harley Plant! - one of the world's top zoos)
Top-notch museums (art, regular - not far from Summerfest)
Water St./Old World Third St./Plankinton Ave. bar-hoppin' after Summerfest closes since the night's still young (Milwaukee Ale House, on Water St., just blocks from The Big Gig grounds, & Rock Bottom Brewery on Plankinton Ave., both brew their own tasty tonic)
There's construction on the Marquette Interchange so it's not as conveniently easy to get around Downtown now, but you definitely don't want to let that stop you, especially from checking out Summerfest (The Big Gig).
Have a GREAT time!

RE: Milwaukee Visit Tips?
Thanks for the Info.
We will definately be taking in Summerfest & HD.
I would really like to make the Miller Beer tour while she would choose to gamble.
I like Hold'em too but we can do that anytime.
We might run up to Door County also for a day or two.
Thanks again for the ideas.
