Madison is nestled between 2 Lakes, Lake Mendota and Lake Monona. Walking around the capitol square in the heart of downtown Madison is always a must. Every Saturday morning there is a huge farmers market that goes around the capitol square that offers lots of yummy sweet treats, fresh vegetables, fruit and lots more. You can enjoy shopping and lots of wonderful restaurants. Stop in at the Old Fashioned Restaurant for some famous cheese curds, an old-fashioned cocktail and overall great food. Take a walk down State Street from the farmers market toward the Memorial Union(which is part of the University of Wisconsin) and sit along Lake Mendota, soak up the sun and enjoy a snack or a drink.
