On the Road Friday ~ on a Monday ~ Good Eats and Sights ~ Madison, Wisconsin

Our family did a week long explore to Madison, Wisconsin in October 2017.
Each Friday I have been taking you on a trip to Madison. This Friday, I have something special to share with you, so we will take a little detour and head to Madison on Monday. 

 We will start with good eats.

Click above to check out The Old Fashioned.
This place has a great atmosphere and amazing food.
Wisconsin is King here .. Wisconsin foods and products are featured.


 The Taps at the bar.


 The Old Fashioned is across from the Capitol building.


 Next up on the list of good eats.. Babcock Hall Dairy Store 



We produce signature dairy products for the University of Wisconsin – Madison and the surrounding community. Through this, the Babcock Hall Dairy Plant and Dairy Store help support the University of Wisconsin Food Science Department’s mission of research, teaching and outreach.

Biking the city is easy. Madison has a bike trail system with easy to follow maps. 
Our boys loved the idea of biking from our hotel to the attractions.
 

Thank you for coming along with me on a Monday for a On the Road Friday.

  10. How nice to see some of Madison Wisconsin. I was there in 1970 visiting our best friend who was going to college there. That ice cream looks delicious!

  11. How many times did you go back for ice cream? You'd be able to justify lots more if you biked everywhere.

  13. What a fun trip, with delicious finds! The campus looks so neat, lots of interesting architectural designs. Of course, I had to click through and check out the Old Fashioned menu... I'd have to try the Wisconsin’s Best Wurst platter.
    I love going On The Road with you!
