This weekend we said goodbye to summer by going to the Taste of Madison, as we have the past three summers. A bunch of local restaurants set up on the Capital Square and offer samplings from their menus for between $1 and $4. Its a great way to try new restaurants. Our favorite selection is always the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Egg Rolls from Bluephies. One of these days we actually have to go to Bluephies to have a meal.
Of course, Allie didn't have the pleasure of eating with us at the Taste of Madison, but she had fun nonetheless.
Go Badgers! We all dressed up in our Badger red for the day and celebrated their first victory of the year.
Allie only got to enjoy the sippy cup. Next year she can have the full enjoyment of Taste of Madison.
We sat on the Capital lawn and listened to the music. Allie even danced for us! It was fun but our fun was dampened when it started raining. We walked around a bit more, got more to eat and then went home. It was a nice way to bid adieu to summer. What made it even nicer was the fact that today the house was clean, the weather was nice, we grilled out and just relaxed - nowhere to go. Now tomorrow we all have to go back to work, but at least its only a four-day week!
I really like Bluephies. I haven't been there in forever, though. We went to Taste of Madison the first fall we lived here and definitely tried the cookie dough eggroll and the Butterfinger wanton. Super tasty, but one a year is enough!
