State #26 - Wisconsin

Can I have some cheese, please?


The decent into Madison was amazing!  I had a perfectly beautiful view of the city.  Amazing!


First stop - Farmers Market which wraps around the whole capital.


You will never, i repeat, never see people doing this in The Capitol in DC.  That being said the building is beautiful.  I love the big and grand capital buildings.  They have an overlook that wraps around the building so you can get a 360 view.  The city basically extends out from the capital.  Here is my favorite shot from the view point.


Madison is such a cool city.  I wish I had more time to spend there.  So many fun activities to do on the lakes and parks.  Believe me when I say that I get the appeal of Madison, Wisconsin.



Moving on to Mt Horeb, where I was for most of the visit.  Would you like a troll with that?  Such a neat little town with one stop light.  They have what is called a "Trollway".  There main street has shops and things with trolls along the way.  There are some cute ones and scary ones.  When it came time to buy a little gifts for myself I went with a gnome because let's face it, trolls are pretty creepy.  I was afraid it would attack me at night so I went with the friendly gnome.


In my travels I have found the places that I like the most have the beauty and food.  This place is no exception.  The food I had was sooo good and fresh.  The picture above is my view from a backyard cookout.  It is really amazingly beautiful.  Go and visit Madison but then take a drive out into the country and visit some trolls.


Happy July 4th.  It's legal for fireworks in this state.  Another awesome thing!!
