If you want to be a Badger...

...just come along with me!

We took the boys on their first trip to Madison this weekend and had a great time. The zoo, campus touring, mama's old haunts visiting...we did it all! We stayed at the Double Tree on East Johnson St. and loved the proximity to everything, especially convenient parking as the city was packed this weekend!

We were down the block from my dorm, Witte Hall!



Some performance art at the Chazen...





We made it to the top of Bascom Hill...


and a select few rolled their way down...




Babcock ice cream and giant sunburst chairs at The Terrace!


State Street with throngs of people downtown for - 


Maxwell Street Days! 



Looking up at the capitol building after perusing the farmer's market.



The Veteran's Museum and Ella's Deli rounded out our trip, and we're home with half the weekend still before us! We packed a lot in to a day and a half, but we didn't feel rushed and were able to really have fun and relax as a family. Swimming in the hotel pool topped the boys' favorites list, and seeing Madison through the eyes of my kids and snuggling in bed with Max topped mine! The grooming of these future Badgers has begun! ;)
