Trip to WI

Last weekend we were able to take a short trip to WI. On Thursday afternoon we left for Prairie du Chien which is an old town right on the Mississippi River. I had never been to western WI before and I was surprised at the beautiful scenery. We had a nice hotel that had a great pool for the kids, and we enjoyed seeing some of the area and visiting some historical sights. On Friday afternoon we drove through a torrential downpour as we left for Madison, WI. On Saturday we enjoyed a great day seeing the sights in Madison. We wandered around a huge farmers market, we toured the state capital building, and we spent a considerable amount of time at their new Children's Museum. The kids had a great time, and Jay and I enjoyed it as well.

We hiked up to the top of the capital building. The view was pretty amazing, but you can't really tell it in this picture.
