A few weeks ago, my parents came to visit us in Madison. It was loads of fun. They stayed at the Chaucerian bed and breakfast downtown, and we spent most of the trip exploring the restaurants of Madison. Bandung (the Indonesian place) and the Great Dane (which serves a mean bratwurst) were big hits.
We also went to the Farmer's Market, which was (as always) a source of great amusement. We even bought vegetables! Here's a picture of me and my Dad sitting by the Capitol. Kind of eerie, isn't it?
Another fun thing we did was go to the Olbrich Botanical gardens, which are quite lovely. They were having a Thai cultural festival at the pavilion, and there was lots of entertainment, including dancing girls with extremely funny hats.
We relaxed a bit after the festival over in the new rose garden, and Anita and I went up on the funny little decorative tower while my parents cleverly rested in the shade. We did snap a picture of them from up there, though, which doesn't nearly do justice to my Mom's classy hat. Sarah and I got it for her, and she wears it to embarass us, but it doesn't work! Our upbringing has rendered us immune to mere embarassment!
More blogging excitement soon!
