Downtown Adventure!

The other day Heather had time off work, so we went to explore downtown Madison. We were both impressed with how easily the traffic flowed around the capital building as well as the beauty of the place itself.

Gorgeous!


After admiring the various food trucks and general cleanliness, we found this little gem.

fromagination


The shop is called fromagination, a luxury cheese shop that had all kinds of delightful things. There were various cheeses from all over the world (not individually wrapped, but as part of their original wheel). That being said, the prices were quite high, but there was an insane amount of variety of goat and cow cheese. There were also all kinds of crackers, jams and assorted cheese-related paraphernalia. Price-wise, this shop was a bit crazy, but the variety was excellent.

After that we went to the Wisconsin Historical Museum and saw all kinds of cute exhibits. It was pay by donation, so it was certainly worth the cost!

Well, we've been discussing getting a tv since we moved here, and that day was just the day to do it. We went to a Target, the only place we had found the tv we wanted at a reasonable price, and bought it.

Da da daaaa!

We looked up the consumer report for all the tvs in our size/price range and the Sony Bravia scored the highest. What you don't see in the picture are the rabbit ears we have on top of the cabinet so we can watch the local channels. We're not about to pay for cable or satellite, thank you very much. So, that's how we spent a very exciting day downtown!

We are currently watching the Colts game, as you can see. That is actually one of the main reasons we got the tv to begin with, to watch football. We're odd aunties.
