From the Zoo to Downtown, Madison, WI

We had a busy day today.  It is our last day before we head out to our next stop.  I wanted to share with you those fun things I love to do when I am with my family in Madison. It truly is a great town. And though I am a New Yorker to the bone, I can’t help but feel nostalgic and miss my former home every time I visit.

We missed a few places, but we will be coming back this way on our way home.  Actually, we will be staying in another small town just north of Madison called Waunakee.  Why Waunakee?  Because Country Inn and Suites is providing us with 2 complimentary nights to stay and explore their hotel and let you all know what our family thought about it.  We will also enjoy 1 free night in Billings, MT, also courtesy of the great people of Country Inn and Suites. Through their website we have access to a list of itineraries for the areas where we will be staying and driving through. When in Billings, MT we will be taking some ideas from the Peaks & Valleys itinerary, and while in Madison we have been enjoying some of the ideas offered in the Streams and Valley’s itinerary! Can’t wait to share with you all the activities ahead of us, my experience with Country Inn and Suites, and all the unexpected surprises that surely await us!

Our next stop: Sioux Falls, SD!

Check out all the fun we had today.  Our family would love to hear what your idea of the best  family vacation is!  So leave a comment!

    I really enjoyed your video but you look like you're exhausted. Your eyes are so red. Bendito. Mi'ja, get some rest..lol

    Other then that, it was fantastic!! I'm glad we were able to finally see you in a quick, video clip. Tell your hubby to take more pictures/video of you (loved your outfit too!).

    Oh and very entertaining too. I loved how you had video and pics in the mix; very creative & clever 😉

We found this spot a few years ago, before we moved to the area full time while at a rental nearby and immediately fell in love with its community and cozy vibe, and delicious coffee. 

It’s even cuter than when we first visited while all the reasons we love it remain. Always worth a stop when in Geneva.
