Back in Madison area

After 4 days of camping at a state park in the Green Bay/Sturgeon Bay area of Wisconsin we are back in the Madison area near our daughter and her family until Thursday morning.  Today we decided to go back to the famers market on our own and it was even bigger than last week, I imagine it not raining today had something to do with that :)   I brought a tote bag with me and got enough veggies for a salad and a nice loaf of bread plus we ate some bakery while we were walking around.  This is a very popular place, you would not believe the crowds.  I wish we had a local farmer’s market like this at home and I would be there every week.  Mike is editing photo’s and downloading from the camera and I will get some photo’s of our camping trip to Potawatomi State Park  on here soon http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/parks/specific/Potawatomi/  yes funny name but wonderful park. 

We have been having fun and have gotten used to our new motorhome rather quickly and really enjoy it.  Yes it is smaller but that hasn’t made it any rougher.  As soon as you get use to a smaller space you get used to it.  We always keep in mind that we are not full timers and we do not live in it and that makes it so that it is ok.  No way could I live in it – too small for that, but for long vacations it is just right.  Better gas mileage and towing the honda has made it worth it also.

Farmers Market

Last week here in the Madison area when we were visiting our daughter and family we went to the Madison Farmers Market on Saturday morning.  It was raining, but we all had umbrella’s and decided to go anyhow.  The crowd is amazing, the veggies are beautiful and so are the flowers.  I would go every week if I could.  Here are some photo’s of this wonderful market.
