It was an absolutely gorgeous day in Madison today. We walked to a little patisserie near Kevin and Rachel’s house for breakfast. There were some really cool bike racks outside the place:
After a nice snack, we hoofed it the two miles or so over to the farmer’s market at Hilldale Mall. We stopped for a coffee break, then browsed the market long enough to pick up a bag of squeaky cheese curds. After that, it was back to the house for lunch. While Ava and Leah napped after lunch, Kevin and I made a run to his office to grab some music and TV shows off the server there, then stopped at Whole Foods to pick up dinner supplies (sweet potato and black bean burritos). As I write this, that dinner is providing a wonderful glow from deep down in my belly. We also grabbed a six pack of my beloved New Glarus beer (Yokel) and some Hook’s blue cheese, which is supposed to be one of the new kids on the blue cheese block (blue cheese…block…get it?!).
All in all, a wonderful day. It’s as close to being European as you can get in the greater 48, methinks. Lots and lots of new photos uploaded to Flickr in the last hour, too, for those lucky enough to have access.
