Last weekend was our two schools playing each other in football at Madison. So since we were guaranteed a win for one of our schools we headed over to enjoy some college football. We drove over on Friday and picked up dinner at Teddy Wedgers - a meat filled pastry that is sold around the corner from our condo. Very tasty and quite filling, we will definitely be trying it again. Then we headed over to the Kohl Center to try and score some last minute tickets to one of the early games for the Badger basketball team. Since they were playing Western Arkansas we figured that we wouldn't have any problem buying them either on the street or the ticket booth at the last minute. Oops on our part - we could only find single seat tickets, even from the ticket brokers/scalpers on the street. So instead we headed over to the Union and caught a movie - Captain Fantastic. Fun flick, but a bit weird. On the way home we picked up some Krispy Kreme doughnuts and milk to finish the night off on a sweet note.
Saturday morning we tried out another of the local diners, Lazy Jane's, for breakfast. Then it was time for the game along with Kathy and John. Everyone was all bundled up since although the day was sunny it was a bit on the chilly side. Wisconsin pretty much dominated Illinois so the game wasn't exactly a cliffhanger. But since the home town team won, most of the local folks were happy. Afterwards, it was back to the condo for pizza and exciting games of Tenzi (a dice game). We headed back home on Sunday since Jo had to fly to Phoenix in the afternoon for work.
