 <\/p>\n

Madison is one of those cities that I love the idea of. I suppose that for someone who went to College in Ann Arbor, and then really never left the general area, that this makes sense.<\/p>\n

I think that Madison will be the first evening of the road trip. Day one, then, won’t be too aggressive when it comes to distance traveled, and Madison seems like it’ll be a nice city to spend a few hours in.<\/p>\n

If we get going at around 7:00 in the morning, then we should be in Madison in the early afternoon. During our trip, I’d like to get to bed at around 10PM. That’s about how long this body’s parking meter lasts when I’m trying to get a bunch of the driving done during the daytime, which works out best for me. <\/p>\n

I don’t want to make too many stops on this first day. Here, the plan is to pack a cooler and bring food for the road. My penchant for planning makes this a fun prospect. Then, we’ll have a late lunch in Madison, see some things, and then do dinner.<\/p>\n

Design Sponge<\/a> has a fun-looking city guide for Madison<\/a>. I’ve had fun with these guides before and like to use them as a starting point. However, these days, I like to take photos as souvenirs, and occasionally pick up a food item or book to bring back home. I should stick to the books though. I tend to get too, I-should-save-this  about the food things and I never know when that attitude is going to morph into I-probably-shouldn’t-eat-this.<\/p>\n

I would love to see the state capitol building. I have a weak spot for those buildings. Madison’s has one of the highest domes in the country. I love seeing those buildings at night. I can see Nashville’s, Washington D.C.’s and Texas’ in my mind, if I think about it, from visits to those places. <\/p>\n
