Once again, we were in Madison for the weekend working on our condo selections and attending some sporting events. We scooted out of town quickly on Thursday so that we could see the Wisconsin women's volleyball team play Marquette. Very close games with our Badgers finally winning in the fourth set. During the game, Jo made a new friend, but then mascots are always hanging around her (as evidenced by a picture we have of her and the Phillie Phanatic from years ago). We had a great time watching the game and afterwards enjoyed a nice stroll home with near perfect temperatures.
Jo headed off on Friday for a Chemistry board meeting while I held down the fort with our contractor selecting such fun things as grout colors and carpet underlayments. Yep, I'm living the large life. Afterwards we tucked into some homemade pizza before walking over to Union South to watch the movie, "The Big Sick". Great movie and we both highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun romantic comedy. Saturday we picked up a few things at the Farmer's market and then took our morning constitutional out to Picnic Point, before meeting Kathy and John at the Memorial Union for lunch. After lunch it was time to watch the Badger's football team play Brigham Young and decided to do it at the Union. It was a lot fun watching with a crowd and a pitcher of beer. It helped the fun that our team won (but it also could have just been the pitcher of beer). We then decided to simply get some burgers for dinner before traipsing over to the UW Field House for another volleyball match (yes, our lives are now spent watching sports since we are getting too creaky to actually do them anymore).
We then decided to drive home after the game, so we could wake up in our own beds Sunday morning. Sunday consisted of getting a bike ride in before heading to the gym and then some quality nap time in the afternoon. Later that night we caught up with our CT friends, Bruno and Sheri, via Facetime and found that they are only one peak away from hiking all the 4,000 foot peaks in NH - yes they have way too much energy.
