Madison

Madison, United States

So this blog thing is hard to get the hang of and we are working on it. Any whooos...Kayla and I spent a week in Madison WI, making new friends, eating great food and seeing the sites. Madison is pretty cool. We went to a benefit (where I won a massage from Kelly Maxwell, thanks I feel so much better), a roller girl championship game, some museums, the botanical gardens, a cheese store, a wonderful micro-brewery (Ale Asylum), State Street (cos I am a nerd like that) and so much more.

Out of all places who would've guessed I would fall in love with Madison, WI. When Gavin told me she wanted to go there, I just assumed we would see dairy farms and more dairy farms. Little did I know Madison is packed with culture, art, great food, and warm, eclectic people. We stayed with a friend that Gavin met in Tuscon last year at IDKE. Our hosts and their friends were so accommodating to us, showing us an in depth look at Madison and the places around it.
Now onto the good stuff...THE FOOD!
During our stay in Madison we went out to eat 3 or 4 times and that wasn't nearly enough. Most of the restaurants there have an array of vegetarian items, including delicious sandwiches, pastas, salads and soups. Also the restaurants that do carry meat items make sure to advertise in the menu when they are locally bought. Amongst the great restaurants there are local markets all throughout Madison, carrying the best local vegetables, fruits, cheeses and breads. Every Saturday morning there is a Farmer's market downtown by the capitol that has all the fruits and vegetables of the season along with crafts, art and apparel.
All in all, two thumbs up Madison!! Thanks to all who took time out of their schedules to show us the city, it was a week well spent. :)
