Taste of Madison

     Labor Day weekend we travelled up to Madison, WI to visit Chad and Brittni and to go to the Taste of Madison food event on the square downtown.  Or Taste of Mexico, as I was told by my Mom, all the while wondering why Madison would have a strong Mexican heritage, oh Lois, you silly lady.
     Saturday morning we took off for Madison, Tate travelled really well, we made one stop at Menard's in Dubuque, bought some cheese curds and continued our trek.  Tate and Chewy become best friends, although Tate doesn't like to share his ball with Chewy- at all.  We watched the Iowa game that afternoon, went to the shopping center and later out to eat to Quaker Steak & Lube.  Good wings, weird name.
     Sunday morning was lazy and we headed to the Taste of Mexican/Madison shortly before noon to eat our way around the square.  We had amazing barbecue, cheese balls, cheesecake, gyros, french fries and corn on the cob.  We were able to time all the travelling pretty well, so Tate was able to nap for a good chunk of the trip.  Tate and I were dropped off in Radcliffe on the way home to go a birthday party for Gracie who was turning 5!

Right after this shot, Tate fell and got a mud stain in his hair, no tears though

Much better view from up there
