Madison, WI

So I didn’t fly for the first 28 years of my life, but I’ve flown three times in the last year with the more recent being a short visit to Wisconsin to visit Anna and Jimmy. And two of those, I’ve been solo… Go Me!

I got up at 3:45 am (yes, you read that correctly). I was at the airport by 5:15 am and on the plane by 6:15 am. My “brave hat” was on, but not nearly as tight this time. And by 11-ish, I was in Wisconsin.

Although many people associate Wisconsin and cheese, this time I associated Wisconsin for the cherries. I had cherry ice cream, cherry soda, cherries (both tart and sweet), and was slightly tempted by a pork tenderloin with a cherry reduction for dinner one night. (Note: no cherry pepto was needed).

Here’s a short recap of the trip:

Walked around Madison

Hiked around Devil’s Lake

Visited a Zoo

Rode on a Duck

Ate cherries

August 27, 2009… Note to self: Going to Walmart is almost never a fun experience.
