ReplyDeleteWow, I love the nighttime shoreline. Looks so peaceful and calm, while looking across the water at all the city hustle and bustle. On just a quick glance, you could think it was the D.C. capitol! LOVE the badger! Can't wait to see the rest of what YOU saw!
ReplyDeleteIs that a skunk? A badger? I’m sure it has something to do with Wisconsin... I grew up in Michigan and our mascot was the wolverine.
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad you had a great trip and Madison was kind to you (for the most part). ;-) That last photo is dreamy!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a fun and safe trip! Love the photo of the city across the water, the statue and the unique old building in the background and I'm looking forward to seeing more photos. Have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a great trip! Love the photo of your boys! Can't wait to see what your husband captured!
ReplyDeleteThew boys are really growing up fast. They are catching up to your husband. That skunk looks very educated. Hugs, Julia

Looks impressive...love the way you are invariably so upbeat. We English have to exhibit Eeyore-like tendencies; it's part of the qualification :-)
ReplyDeleteWhen Trip worked in Green Bay, he used to bring home cheese curds to us. They feel funny on the teeth, but they are tasty!
ReplyDeleteLook at that badger! He's sitting on a stack of books... He's the mascot, right? So cute!
Lovely post and pics. Glad you had a good trip.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry I haven't been around to see you recently ...
ReplyDeleteI've just been catching up on your older posts and finding out what has been happening to you and your family in recent times ...quite a lot!
Needless to say I'm all caught up now.
So good to know that all family are ok and doing well.
Take Care and I will visit again soon!
All the best Jan

Don't you love the new statue in Alumni Park of Bucky on the stack of books? And.... The Old Fashioned ~~ what else can be said about it? Such good food!!!! Did you make a trip to Trader Joe's? Madison on a football weekend is just energizing. Glad you had a good trip!! Looking forward to more pics!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture of the skyline! Looking forward to seeing what Jeremy captured as well.
ReplyDeleteI think Wisconsin does a wonderful job with the way stations and rest stops.
