In late March I had the pleasure of speaking in Madison, Wisconsin.  I had never been to Madison before and I was blown away by how lovely the city is.  I thought I would share some of my favorite things about Madison:

The PEOPLE!  Here are two of the three people responsible for bringing me to Madison.  On the left is  Misty Lohrentz, Community Events Coordinator, Monona Terrace Community & Convention Center and on the right is Carolyn Kallenborn, artist, filmmaker and professor at University of Madison, Wisconsin.  (Not picture is the super talented and busy Jennifer Angus.)

The FOOD!

The SHOPS: 
Owners (and sisters) of my favorite store in Madison, Anthology (store front photo below).  I am not a shopper at heart so the fact that I bought 2 things there is truly noteworthy.  (An organic cotton t-shirt and a hair clip. My next post is going to be all about the hair clip!) I honestly liked just about everything in their store. They are super cute and thoughtful with what they select for their store.

The ART:
Cool photo taken my husband in the Museum of Contemporary Art.  The Museum is FREE.  We checked out the Houdini exhibition while we were there and also had a snack at the roof top restaurant.  Additionally, there was a FREE movie that night at the Museum in one of the downstairs rooms.  The movie was:
If a Tree Falls.  I highly recommend it.  Warning: it is pretty heavy.

One of the highlights of the trip was seeing the home my mother grew up in. Here it is!  Next time I get to Madison I am going to bring my mother with me!  I definitely want to go back.  We saw a lot but there are still plenty of things we didn't have time to experience.  

Thanks Madison!  We'll be back.

Great article! It was a treat to have you here. I hope we can continue to find ways to work together.

And I have to add that my consumption of plastic bags has gone down significantly since you were here.

Fabulous photos! Madison looks so peaceful.
