205.365-207.365 Madison

 Oh my!  How we loved the city of Madison!  How we love Madison in the summer!  The girls and I took a road trip of our own to see my niece (the girls' cousin) where she has been getting her phd at the University of Wisconsin.  She showed us the town, ate the most amazing ice cream on the planet (Zanzibar, Zoreo and Lemon Meringue were among our favorites at The Chocolate Shoppe) and just had a blast being together.  Thanks for a great time!
 On Saturday we went to a fantastic Farmer's Market at the capitol.  We ate some insanely big pastries and treats.  I got some cheese curds, jerky and veggies to bring home.


 We went to the capitol and looked around.  We had fun admiring the beautiful building and were  treated to songs from a choir of Amish on the second floor.




 Later that day we went to the Terrace and soaked in the sunshine and got moss pedicures on the steps from the girls.


 We watched a group of kayakers learning in the lake.  It was a beautiful day!


 Later that evening we went to stay with a friend of mine from nursing school.  It had been years since we have seen each other and so fun to catch up over dinner.  Our children quickly became such good friends too.  It was so fun to stay with them!
On Sunday, we went for a quick lunch of pizza and then stopped for ice cream to round out a great stay.  The girls were so sad that our weekend went so quickly.  They adore their cousin and had a great time seeing Danielle's lab.  They all want to be scientists and were so inspired by her.  Thanks for showing us such a great time in Madison, Danielle and Ann!
