Narrative:

Mke is doing taxiway construction near some of our gates. We are required to take a long taxi over to the GA area on the airport. We landed on runway 25L and our gate was xy. Upon contacting ground, we were cleared to gate xy via taxiway B, taxiway east, runway 31 to taxiway D, cross all runways, taxi to gate xy.' normally, we are required in this instance to hold short of runway 25R as we approach it both times. With the clearance to cross all runways, I relaxed and like an idiot started looking out the window and enjoying a beautiful spring day. The captain, instead of crossing runway 25R, turned left onto it, and I did not catch it. Ground advised us that we were not cleared that way, and we continued on runway 25R to taxiway D and to our gate. No excuse -- just plain complacency.
